श्राद्धवदिति चेत्
śrāddhavad iti cet
The line
If you say that śrāddhavad (श्राद्धवद्), 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. a-karma (अ-कर्म) from 6.8.14 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: śrāddhavad (श्राद्धवद्) + iti (इति) + cet (चेत्)
