A grasping or, because of a compound: like, equal, 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. māsi (मासि) from 10.8.24 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: grahaṇaṃ (ग्रहणं) + vā (वा) + tulya-tvāt (तुल्य-त्वात्)
