9.3.19
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 9 / 9.3.19
नोत्पत्तिशब्दत्वात्
notpattiśabdatvāt
The line
Not because of a compound: arising, the origin, a word, and the state of being that.
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. dyāvos (द्यावो) from 9.3.18 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
