3.5.12
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.5.12
अन्त्यमरेकार्थे
antyam arekārthe
The line
antya (अन्त्य), in arekārtha (अरेकार्थ).
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. jāti-viśeṣāt (जाति-विशेषात्) from 3.5.11 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: antyam (अन्त्यम्) + arekārthe (अरेकार्थे)
