आनर्थक्यं च संयोगात्
ānarthakyaṃ ca saṃyogāt
The line
Pointlessness and, because of conjunction.
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. akarmatvāt (अकर्मत्वात्) from 6.1.46 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: ānarthakyaṃ (आनर्थक्यं) + ca (च) + saṃyogāt (संयोगात्)
