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. deśa-baddham (देश-बद्धम्) from 9.1.20 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: yajñasya (यज्ञस्य) + vā (वा) + tat-saṃyogāt (तत्-संयोगात्)
