The line
Of stoma (स्तोम) or, because of a compound: that, a mark, 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. trivṛti (त्रिवृति) from 10.6.22 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: stomasya (स्तोमस्य) + vā (वा) + tat-liṅga-tvāt (तत्-लिङ्ग-त्वात्)
