9.1.44
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 9 / 9.1.44
न परार्थत्वात्
na parārthatvāt
The line
Not because of because it is for another's sake.
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. karma (कर्म) from 9.1.43 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
