कर्तृभेदस् तथेति चेत्
kartṛbhedas tatheti cet
The line
If you say that a compound: an agent, and a difference, so, in that way, then.
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 11. One performance serving many purposes, and when the acts stay separate. The line is short. āmnāya-vacanaṃ (आम्नाय-वचनं) from 11.2.41 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: kartṛ-bhedaḥ (कर्तृ-भेदः) + tathā (तथा) + iti (इति) + cet (चेत्)
