स्वस्थानत्वाच् च
svasthānatvāc ca
The line
Because of a compound: one's own, the place, the order, and the state of being that and.
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 12. Prasaṅga (प्रसङ्ग), incidental application, and vikalpa (विकल्प), option. The line is short. āgantukatvād (आगन्तुकत्वाद्) from 12.3.4 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
