Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 6. Who may perform. Eligibility, and the way substances are tied to an act. The line is short. phala-vattāṃ (फल-वत्तां) from 6.1.21 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: dvi-ādhānaṃ (द्वि-आधानं) + ca (च) + dvi-yajña-vat (द्वि-यज्ञ-वत्)
