8.4.16
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 8 / 8.4.16
न प्रकृतावपीति चेत्
na prakṛtāv apīti cet
The line
If you say that not prakṛtāv (प्रकृताव्) even, then.
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 8. Transfer by specific indications. The signs in a variant rite's own sentence say which model it borrows from. The line is short. anuttarārtho (अनुत्तरार्थो) from 8.4.15 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: na (न) + prakṛtāv (प्रकृताव्) + api (अपि) + iti (इति) + cet (चेत्)
