Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 12. Prasaṅga (प्रसङ्ग), incidental application, and vikalpa (विकल्प), option. The line is short. sānnāyye (सान्नाय्ये) from 12.4.38 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: catur-dhāka-raṇe (चतुर्-धाक-रणे) + ca (च) + nirdeśāt (निर्देशात्)
