Of arising, the origin and, because of because that is its main thing.
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. dravya-saṃskāra-karmasu (द्रव्य-संस्कार-कर्मसु) from 4.3.1 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
