10.6.17
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 10 / 10.6.17
त्रिवृद्वदिति चेत्
trivṛdvad iti cet
The line
If you say that trivṛdvad (त्रिवृद्वद्), then.
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 10. Bādha (बाध): when a transferred detail is excluded. The line is short. pṛṣṭhārthe (पृष्ठार्थे) from 10.6.16 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: trivṛdvad (त्रिवृद्वद्) + iti (इति) + cet (चेत्)
