Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 10. Bādha (बाध): when a transferred detail is excluded. The line is short. upāṃśuyājam (उपांशुयाजम्) from 10.8.47 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: dhrau-vāda (ध्रौ-वाद) + vā (वा) + sarva-saṃyogāt (सर्व-संयोगात्)
