3.1.2
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.1.2
शेषः परार्थत्वात्
śeṣaḥ parārthatvāt
The line
The rest, what remains over, because of because it is for another's sake.
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 3. Śeṣa (शेष), the subsidiary. How you tell what serves a rite and what the rite serves. The line is short. śeṣa-lakṣaṇam (शेष-लक्षणम्) from 3.1.1 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: śeṣaḥ (शेषः) + parārthatvāt (परार्थत्वात्)
