Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 5 / 5.4.3
यथारप्रदानं वा तदर्थत्वात्

The line
A compound: as, rapra (रप्र), and dāna (दान) or, because of because it is for the sake of that.
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 5. Order. Sequence is fixed by the order of the words, and by other rules when the words do not decide. The line is short. avadānābhighāraṇāsādaneṣv (अवदानाभिघारणासादनेष्व्) from 5.4.2 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: yathā-rapra-dānaṃ (यथा-रप्र-दानं) + vā (वा) + tadarthatvāt (तदर्थत्वात्)
