The line
They would be. syuḥ (स्युः) before a voiced sound, because of a compound: or, praise, words that are not the command, and the state of being that.
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 10. Bādha (बाध): when a transferred detail is excluded. The line is short. īhā-arthāḥ (ईहा-अर्थाः) from 10.2.51 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: syur (स्युर्) + vā-arthavāda-tvāt (वा-अर्थवाद-त्वात्)
