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. paśu-ānantaryāt (पशु-आनन्तर्यात्) from 8.2.17 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: dravatvaṃ (द्रवत्वं) + ca-aviśiṣṭam (च-अविशिष्टम्)
