3.6.3
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.6.3
तद्वर्जं तु वचनप्राप्ते
tadvarjaṃ tu vacanaprāpte
The line
tadvarja (तद्वर्ज) but, in a compound: a statement, and what already follows.
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. prakṛtau (प्रकृतौ) from 3.6.2 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: tadvarjaṃ (तद्वर्जं) + tu (तु) + vacana-prāpte (वचन-प्राप्ते)
