The line
If you say that of a compound: that, and fit, right, then.
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 9. Ūha (ऊह): adapting mantras and details when they are transferred. The line is short. tat-prayukta-tve (तत्-प्रयुक्त-त्वे) from 9.1.15 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: tad-yuktasya (तद्-युक्तस्य) + iti (इति) + cet (चेत्)
