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. prayujyata (प्रयुज्यत) from 9.2.12 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: grahaṇa-arthaṃ (ग्रहण-अर्थं) + prayujyeta (प्रयुज्येत)
