The line
Because of ekaśabdya (एकशब्द्य), in a compound: so, and a limb, a subsidiary part.
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 11. One performance serving many purposes, and when the acts stay separate. The line is short. saṃpra-yoge (संप्र-योगे) from 11.1.24 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: ekaśabdyāt (एकशब्द्यात्) + tathā-aṅgeṣu (तथा-अङ्गेषु)
