10.7.59
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 10 / 10.7.59
अधिकं स्यादिति चेत्
adhikaṃ syād iti cet
The line
If you say that more, it would be. syāt (स्यात्) before a voiced sound, then.
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 10. Bādha (बाध): when a transferred detail is excluded. The line is short. sarvāsāṃ (सर्वासां) from 10.7.58 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: adhikaṃ (अधिकं) + syād (स्याद्) + iti (इति) + cet (चेत्)
