yathāśrutīti cet
The line
If you say that in a compound: as, and śrutīta (श्रुतीत), then.
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. syād (स्याद्) from 6.4.21 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
