कर्मस्वपीति चेत्
karmasv apīti cet
The line
If you say that a compound: action, and one's own even, then.
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 10. Bādha (बाध): when a transferred detail is excluded. The line is short. adhikānāñ (अधिकानाञ्) from 10.5.31 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: karma-sva (कर्म-स्व) + api (अपि) + iti (इति) + cet (चेत्)
