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. eka-artha-tvāt (एक-अर्थ-त्वात्) from 9.2.46 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: nirdeśāt (निर्देशात्) + vā (वा) + vyavatiṣṭheran (व्यवतिष्ठेरन्)
