9.1.17
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 9 / 9.1.17
नाश्रुतित्वात्
nāśrutitvāt
The line
Not because of aśrutitva (अश्रुतित्व).
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 9. Ūha (ऊह): adapting mantras and details when they are transferred. The line is short. tad-yuktasya (तद्-युक्तस्य) from 9.1.16 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
