6.8.40
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 6 / 6.8.40
विकारो नौत्पत्तिकत्वात्
vikāro nautpattikatvāt
The line
A transformation, not because of otpattikatva (ओत्पत्तिकत्व).
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. rūpa-anya-tvān (रूप-अन्य-त्वान्) from 6.8.39 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: vikāraḥ (विकारः) + na (न) + otpattikatvāt (ओत्पत्तिकत्वात्)
