3.4.27
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.4.27
शेषश् च समाख्यानात्
śeṣaś ca samākhyānāt
The line
The rest, what remains over and, because of a compound: a name, and not.
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. homās (होमास्) from 3.4.26 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) + ca (च) + samākhyā-nāt (समाख्या-नात्)
