3.2.32
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.2.32
पात्नीवते तु पूर्ववत्
pātnīvate tu pūrvavat
The line
In pātnīvata (पात्नीवत) but, as before, like the earlier.
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. grahaṇāt (ग्रहणात्) from 3.2.31 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: pātnīvate (पात्नीवते) + tu (तु) + pūrvavat (पूर्ववत्)
