12.4.14
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 12 / 12.4.14
प्रतिपत्तिस् तु शेषत्वात्
pratipattis tu śeṣatvāt
The line
An understanding but, because of a compound: the rest, what remains over, 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. karmaṇaḥ (कर्मणः) from 12.4.13 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: pratipattiḥ (प्रतिपत्तिः) + tu (तु) + śeṣa-tvāt (शेष-त्वात्)
