Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.8.17
द्व्याम्नातेषूभौ द्व्याम्नानस्यार्थवत्त्वात्
dvyāmnāteṣūbhau dvyāmnānasyārthavattvāt
The line
dvyāmnāteṣūbha (द्व्याम्नातेषूभ), because of dvyāmnānasyārthavattva (द्व्याम्नानस्यार्थवत्त्व).
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. vipra-yoge (विप्र-योगे) from 3.8.16 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: dvyāmnāteṣūbhau (द्व्याम्नातेषूभौ) + dvyāmnānasyārthavattvāt (द्व्याम्नानस्यार्थवत्त्वात्)
