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. vyapadeśaḥ (व्यपदेशः) from 8.2.8 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
