Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.7.2
सर्वेषां वा शेषत्वस्यातत्प्रयुक्तत्वात्
sarveṣāṃ vā śeṣatvasyātatprayuktatvāt
The line
Of of all or, because of a compound: the rest, what remains over, tvasyāta (त्वस्यात), tprayu (त्प्रयु), and ktatva (क्तत्व).
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. prakaraṇa-viśeṣāt (प्रकरण-विशेषात्) from 3.7.1 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: sarveṣāṃ (सर्वेषां) + vā (वा) + śeṣa-tvasyāta-tprayu-ktatvāt (शेष-त्वस्यात-त्प्रयु-क्तत्वात्)
