10.3.9
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 10 / 10.3.9
सर्वमेवं प्रधानमिति चेत्
sarvam evaṃ pradhānam iti cet
The line
If you say that all thus, the unmanifest of Sāṅkhya (साङ्ख्य), then.
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 10. Bādha (बाध): when a transferred detail is excluded. The line is short. tulyā (तुल्या) from 10.3.8 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: sarvam (सर्वम्) + evaṃ (एवं) + pradhānam (प्रधानम्) + iti (इति) + cet (चेत्)
