प्राङ्निष्पत्तेर्वृक्षफलवत् तत्स्यात्
prāṅniṣpattervṛkṣaphalavat tatsyāt
The line
prāṅniṣpattervṛkṣaphalavat (प्राङ्निष्पत्तेर्वृक्षफलवत्), that, it would be, let it be granted.
Where it sits
In Nyāya (न्याय) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 4. Examines action, fault, rebirth, fruit, pain, and release, and then the whole and the part. The line is short. kālā-ntare-ṇāni-ṣpatti-hetu-rvināśāt (काला-न्तरे-णानि-ष्पत्ति-हेतु-र्विनाशात्) from 4.1.46 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: prāṅniṣpattervṛkṣaphalavat (प्राङ्निष्पत्तेर्वृक्षफलवत्) + tat (तत्) + syāt (स्यात्)
