6.8.16
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 6 / 6.8.16
न श्रुतिविप्रतिषेधात्
na śrutivipratiṣedhāt
The line
Not because of a compound: scripture, and a conflict between two rules.
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 6. Who may perform. Eligibility, and the way substances are tied to an act. The line is short. śrāddhavad (श्राद्धवद्) from 6.8.15 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
