9.1.23
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 9 / 9.1.23
प्रणीतादि तथेति चेत्
praṇītādi tatheti cet
The line
If you say that in praṇītāda (प्रणीताद), so, in that way, then.
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. anuvādaḥ (अनुवादः) from 9.1.22 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: praṇītādi (प्रणीतादि) + tathā (तथा) + iti (इति) + cet (चेत्)
