प्रस्तरे शाखाश्रयणवत्
prastare śākhāśrayaṇavat
The line
In prastara (प्रस्तर), śākhāśrayaṇavat (शाखाश्रयणवत्).
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. kāla-artha-tvāt (काल-अर्थ-त्वात्) from 6.4.42 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: prastare (प्रस्तरे) + śākhāśrayaṇavat (शाखाश्रयणवत्)
