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. anavānopa-deśaḥ (अनवानोप-देशः) from 9.2.19 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: abhyāsenetarā (अभ्यासेनेतरा) + śrutiḥ (श्रुतिः)
