9.2.12
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 9 / 9.2.12
प्रयुज्यत इति चेत्
prayujyata iti cet
The line
If you say that prayujyata (प्रयुज्यत), 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. āśrita-tvāt (आश्रित-त्वात्) from 9.2.11 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: prayujyata (प्रयुज्यत) + iti (इति) + cet (चेत्)
