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. kṛtsva-vidhānāt (कृत्स्व-विधानात्) from 8.1.5 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).

Split: sruga-bhighā-raṇā-bhāvasya (स्रुग-भिघा-रणा-भावस्य) + ca (च) + nitya-anuvādāt (नित्य-अनुवादात्)
