The line
A compound: māsi (मासि), and a grasping, a compound: practice, a denial, and a thing, a meaning.
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 10. Bādha (बाध): when a transferred detail is excluded. The line is short. grahaṇaṃ (ग्रहणं) from 10.8.27 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: māsi-grahaṇam (मासि-ग्रहणम्) + abhyāsa-pratiṣedha-artham (अभ्यास-प्रतिषेध-अर्थम्)
