Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 4. What is for the rite, and what is for the person. The line is short. saṃsarga-rasa-niśpa-tterā-mikṣā (संसर्ग-रस-निश्प-त्तेरा-मिक्षा) from 4.1.23 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
