आमनन्ति चैनमस्मिन्

The line
And they declare him in this.
नेपालीमा

Where it sits
enam is the vaiśvānara (वैश्वानर) of 1.2.25, carried through Jaimini, Āśmarathya (आश्मरथ्य), and Bādari (बादरि). asmin is the meditation those teachers were explaining. The pāda (पाद) ends on that declaration. The next pāda (पाद) starts a new passage.
Split: āmananti (आमनन्ति) + ca (च) + enam (एनम्) + asmin (अस्मिन्)
Sanskrit, in depth
The words

| āmananti (आमनन्ति) | present active, third person plural | they declare, they state as tradition |

The phrases
āmananti (आमनन्ति) has teachers, or the texts, as its subject. enam is Vaiśvānara (वैश्वानर) as the self. asmin is this meditation, this body of teaching, where the fruit is stated.
ca adds this declaration to the teachers' reasons. Whatever one does with the belly-fire word, the passage declares him here as the self. That declaration is the author's close.
Sanskrit in this line
āmananti (आमनन्ति) is a present of ā (आ) plus man, with the -anti ending of a plural. ca plus enam is cainam. asmin is locative of idam.
Say it back
Close the pāda (पाद) by saying whom they declare, and where: the Vaiśvānara (वैश्वानर) self, in this meditation.
