8.1.43
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 8 / 8.1.43
पूर्वस्य चाविशिष्टत्वात्
pūrvasya cāviśiṣṭatvāt
The line
Of the earlier, because of a compound: and, not set apart, and the state of being that.
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. dharmānugrahāc (धर्मानुग्रहाच्) from 8.1.42 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
