10.7.53
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 10 / 10.7.53
शरेष्वपीति चेत्
śareṣv apīti cet
The line
If you say that śareṣv (शरेष्व्) 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. ubhaya-pradeśān (उभय-प्रदेशान्) from 10.7.52 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: śareṣv (शरेष्व्) + api (अपि) + iti (इति) + cet (चेत्)
