Because of a compound: a command, and a common case or.
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 7. Transfer. The details of a model rite are carried to a variant rite, and where that carrying stops. The line is short. svarasāmaikakapālāmikṣaṃ (स्वरसामैककपालामिक्षं) from 7.3.26 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
