6.2.7
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 6 / 6.2.7
अन्यस्य स्यादिति चेत्
anyasya syād iti cet
The line
If you say that of of another, it would be. syāt (स्यात्) before a voiced sound, then.
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 6. Who may perform. Eligibility, and the way substances are tied to an act. The line is short. kāma-saṃyoge (काम-संयोगे) from 6.2.6 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: anyasya (अन्यस्य) + syād (स्याद्) + iti (इति) + cet (चेत्)
