Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 6 / 6.5.28
दीक्षापरिमाणे यथाकाम्यविशेषात्
dīkṣāparimāṇe yathākāmyaviśeṣāt
The line
In a compound: dīkṣā (दीक्षा), and measure, because of a compound: as, kāmya (काम्य), and a difference.
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. ādeśārthetarā (आदेशार्थेतरा) from 6.5.27 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: dīkṣā-parimāṇe (दीक्षा-परिमाणे) + yathā-kāmya-viśeṣāt (यथा-काम्य-विशेषात्)
