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. anitya-tvāt (अनित्य-त्वात्) from 6.1.40 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: aṅga-hīnaḥ (अङ्ग-हीनः) + ca (च) + tat-dharmā (तत्-धर्मा)
