Hello Martin,

These two verses are from the Ślokavārttika of Kumārila.  The verse jñātārthaṃ jñātasambandhaṃ is no. 17 and the verse sarvasyaiva hi śāstrasya is no. 12 in the very beginning of the Ślokavārttika.

I'd be grateful for any help with identifying these two verses, relating to the concepts of sambandha and prayojana, quoted by Balabhadra in the early 17th century:

jñātārthaṃ jñātasambandhaṃ śrotuṃ śrotā pravartate |
granthādau tena vaktavyaḥ sambandhaḥ saprayojanaḥ ||

sarvasyaiva hi śāstrasya karmaṇo vāpi kasyacit |
yāvat prayojanaṃ noktaṃ tāvat tat kena gṛhyate ||

Thanks in advance,

Martin Gansten
