The line
bhāṣāsvaropadeśādairavat (भाषास्वरोपदेशादैरवत्), a compound: prāya (प्राय), a statement, and a denial.
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 12. Prasaṅga (प्रसङ्ग), incidental application, and vikalpa (विकल्प), option. The line is short. vidyā-ṃpra-tivi-dhināt (विद्या-ंप्र-तिवि-धिनात्) from 12.3.15 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
