Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 12. Prasaṅga (प्रसङ्ग), incidental application, and vikalpa (विकल्प), option. The line is short. vihāro (विहारो) from 12.2.1 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: māṃsa-pāka-pratiṣedhaḥ (मांस-पाक-प्रतिषेधः) + ca (च) + tadvat (तद्वत्)
