9.1.22
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 9 / 9.1.22
अनुवादश् च तदर्थवत्
anuvādaś ca tadarthavat
The line
A repetition and, a compound: for the sake of that, and possessing.
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 9. Ūha (ऊह): adapting mantras and details when they are transferred. The line is short. yajñasya (यज्ञस्य) from 9.1.21 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: anuvādaḥ (अनुवादः) + ca (च) + tadartha-vat (तदर्थ-वत्)
