Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 11 / 11.2.45
वेदिसंयोगादिति चेत्
vedisaṃyogād iti cet
The line
If you say that because of a compound: vedi (वेदि), and conjunction, 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. liṅgadarśanāc (लिङ्गदर्शनाच्) from 11.2.44 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: vedi-saṃyogāt (वेदि-संयोगात्) + iti (इति) + cet (चेत्)
