cara (चर) or, because of because a mark is seen.
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 10. Bādha (बाध): when a transferred detail is excluded. The line is short. vā-arthāntara-saṃyogāt (वा-अर्थान्तर-संयोगात्) from 10.1.47 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: carau (चरौ) + vā (वा) + liṅgadarśanāt (लिङ्गदर्शनात्)
