12.1.32
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 12 / 12.1.32
शेषभक्षास् तथेति चेत्
śeṣabhakṣās tatheti cet
The line
If you say that a compound: the rest, what remains over, and bhakṣa (भक्ष), so, in that way, then.
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 12. Prasaṅga (प्रसङ्ग), incidental application, and vikalpa (विकल्प), option. The line is short. bhṛtatvāc (भृतत्वाच्) from 12.1.31 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) + cet (चेत्)
