Not a compound: adānasyā (अदानस्या), eternal, and tvāta (त्वात).
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. aśeṣaṃ (अशेषं) from 6.7.11 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: na (न) + adānasyā-nitya-tvāta (अदानस्या-नित्य-त्वात)
