1.3.13

अवाक्यशेषाच् च

avākyaśeṣāc ca

The line

And the manuals fail because they are not a praising remainder and their present lines do not enjoin.

नेपालीमा

र पुस्तिकाहरू चुक्छन्, किनकि तिनीहरू प्रशंसाको बाँकी होइनन् र अहिलेका हरफले विधि गर्दैनन्।

Where it sits

ca adds this to the missing accent of 1.3.12. The same manuals are the subject. vākyaśeṣa (वाक्यशेष) is the praising tail that can belong to a real injunction. These lines have none.

Split: a-vākya-śeṣāt (अ-वाक्य-शेषात्) + ca (च)

The phrases

Lines such as he chooses the priests, the chosen men sacrifice, and they determine the place of worship, show a present ending. A present report is not heard as an injunction. There is also no praising tail after them. A sentence-remainder would be that tail. So the lines are not a means of knowing.

The equal care people show comes only because the manuals are recited mixed with Vedic sentences. The quoted line that the teacher's word is a ground is praise. A real injunction stands elsewhere, the cake for Agni on eight potsherds. In that praise the teacher meant is the Veda, which heaps up a man's understanding. A teacher's word counts only by depending on a means of knowing.

Sanskrit in this line

avākyaśeṣāt (अवाक्यशेषात्) is one compound with the privative a. One reading is avākyaśeṣatvāt (अवाक्यशेषत्वात्). The pāṭha (पाठ) and Śabara (शबर)'s text have avākyaśeṣāt (अवाक्यशेषात्). Before ca the final t is heard as c.

Say it back

Say that a present-tense manual line does not enjoin, and that the sentence about the teacher's word is praise.

1.3.14. Performance everywhere follows the text at hand, and that text contradicts the manual.
