avyaktāsu tu somasya
The line

Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 8. Transfer by specific indications. The signs in a variant rite's own sentence say which model it borrows from. The line is short. tatpravṛttir (तत्प्रवृत्तिर्) from 8.1.15 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: avyaktāsu (अव्यक्तासु) + tu (तु) + somasya (सोमस्य)
