Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 11 / 11.3.52
विकारस्थाने इति चेत्
vikārasthāne iti cet
The line
If you say that in a compound: a transformation, and the place, the order, 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. śruti-pratiṣedhāt (श्रुति-प्रतिषेधात्) from 11.3.51 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: vikāra-sthāne (विकार-स्थाने) + iti (इति) + cet (चेत्)
