The line
In a compound: that, and the transferring rule, mantrākhya (मन्त्राख्य).
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 2. Which acts are different acts. The word for an action means the act, and from that the differences among rites are drawn. The line is short. prayoga-sāmarthyān (प्रयोग-सामर्थ्यान्) from 2.1.31 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
