9.3.18
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 9 / 9.3.18
द्यावोस् तथेति चेत्
dyāvos tatheti cet
The line
If you say that dyāvos (द्यावो), 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. artha-abhāvāt (अर्थ-अभावात्) from 9.3.17 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: dyāvos (द्यावो) + tathā (तथा) + iti (इति) + cet (चेत्)
