The line
A compound: an animal offering, and the state of being that, because of caikaśabdya (चैकशब्द्य).
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. viśeṣaḥ (विशेषः) from 9.1.47 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: paśu-tvaṃ (पशु-त्वं) + caikaśabdyāt (चैकशब्द्यात्)
