3.4.5
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.4.5
वाक्यशेषत्वात्
vākyaśeṣatvāt
The line
Because of a compound: a sentence, the rest, what remains over, and the state of being that.
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. sa (स) from 3.4.4 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
