So, in that way. A compound: a mark, and seeing.
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. teṣām (तेषाम्) from 6.2.27 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: tathā (तथा) + hi (हि) + liṅga-darśanam (लिङ्ग-दर्शनम्)
