Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 3. Śeṣa (शेष), the subsidiary. How you tell what serves a rite and what the rite serves. The line is short. vyapadeśāt (व्यपदेशात्) from 3.4.16 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: śaṃyau (शंयौ) + ca (च) + sarva-pari-dānāt (सर्व-परि-दानात्)
