The line
If you say that seen, a performance, then.
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. vāviśaye (वाविशये) from 8.3.31 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: dṛṣṭaḥ (दृष्टः) + prayoga (प्रयोग) + iti (इति) + cet (चेत्)
