10.6.11
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 10 / 10.6.11
त्रयस् तथेति चेत्
trayas tatheti cet
The line
If you say that trayas (त्रय), so, in that way, then.
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 10. Bādha (बाध): when a transferred detail is excluded. The line is short. viśaye (विशये) from 10.6.10 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: trayas (त्रय) + tathā (तथा) + iti (इति) + cet (चेत्)
