Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 10 / 10.7.30
अग्रहणादिति चेत्
agrahaṇād iti cet
The line
If you say that a compound: a not-taking, and ṇāda (णाद), then.
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 10. Bādha (बाध): when a transferred detail is excluded. The line is short. aśrutatvāt (अश्रुतत्वात्) from 10.7.29 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: agraha-ṇāda (अग्रह-णाद) + iti (इति) + cet (चेत्)
