9.2.18
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 9 / 9.2.18
तथा चान्यार्थ दर्शनम्
tathā cānyārtha darśanam
The line
So, in that way, a compound: and, other, and a thing, a meaning, seeing.
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. vākyānāṃ (वाक्यानां) from 9.2.17 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) + ca-anya-artha (च-अन्य-अर्थ) + darśanam (दर्शनम्)
