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. ṣaṭcitiḥ (षट्चितिः) from 4.4.14 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: tābhiś (ताभिश्) + ca (च) + tulya-saṃkhyā-nāt (तुल्य-संख्या-नात्)
