10.7.54
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 10 / 10.7.54
विरोध्यग्रहणात् तथा शरेष्विति चेत्
virodhyagrahaṇāt tathā śareṣv iti cet
The line
If you say that because of a compound: viro (विरो), dhya (ध्य), and a grasping, so, in that way, śareṣv (शरेष्व्), then.
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 10. Bādha (बाध): when a transferred detail is excluded. The line is short. śareṣv (शरेष्व्) from 10.7.53 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: viro-dhya-grahaṇāt (विरो-ध्य-ग्रहणात्) + tathā (तथा) + śareṣv (शरेष्व्) + iti (इति) + cet (चेत्)
