6.8.28
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 6 / 6.8.28
तथा भक्षप्रैषाच् छादनसंज्ञप्तहोमद्वेषम्
tathā bhakṣapraiṣāc chādanasaṃjñaptahomadveṣam
The line
So, in that way, because of bhakṣapraiṣa (भक्षप्रैष), a compound: chāda (छाद), nasa (नस), ṃjña (ंज्ञ), ptahoma (प्तहोम), and aversion.
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. niyataṃ (नियतं) from 6.8.27 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: tathā (तथा) + bhakṣapraiṣāc (भक्षप्रैषाच्) + chāda-nasa-ṃjña-ptahoma-dveṣam (छाद-नस-ंज्ञ-प्तहोम-द्वेषम्)
