3.7.47
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.7.47
अध्वर्युर्वा तन्न्यायत्वात्
adhvaryurvā tannyāyatvāt
The line
adhvaryurva (अध्वर्युर्व), because of a compound: that, the rule, the right way, and the state of being that.
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. camasāṃścamasādhvaryavaḥ (चमसांश्चमसाध्वर्यवः) from 3.7.46 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: adhvaryurvā (अध्वर्युर्वा) + tat-nyāya-tvāt (तत्-न्याय-त्वात्)
