Because of a compound: one, a sentence, and the state of being that and.
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 10. Bādha (बाध): when a transferred detail is excluded. The line is short. vā-aṅga-bhūtatvāt (वा-अङ्ग-भूतत्वात्) from 10.1.7 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: eka-vākya-tvāt (एक-वाक्य-त्वात्) + ca (च)
