9.1.5
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 9 / 9.1.5
न चोदनाती हि ताद्गुण्यम्
na codanātī hi tādguṇyam
The line
Not codanāta (चोदनात). tādguṇya (ताद्गुण्य).
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. phala-devatayoḥ (फल-देवतयोः) from 9.1.4 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: na (न) + codanātī (चोदनाती) + hi (हि) + tādguṇyam (ताद्गुण्यम्)
