12.1.30
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 12 / 12.1.30
शेषभक्षास् तथेति चेन् नान्यार्थत्वात्
śeṣabhakṣās tatheti cen nānyārthatvāt
The line
If you say that a compound: the rest, what remains over, and bhakṣa (भक्ष), so, in that way, no, because of a compound: other, a thing, a meaning, and the state of being that.
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 12. Prasaṅga (प्रसङ्ग), incidental application, and vikalpa (विकल्प), option. The line is short. anya-vidhānāt (अन्य-विधानात्) from 12.1.29 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: śeṣa-bhakṣāḥ (शेष-भक्षाः) + tathā (तथा) + iti (इति) + cen (चेन्) + na (न) + anya-artha-tvāt (अन्य-अर्थ-त्वात्)
