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. liṅgadarśanāc (लिङ्गदर्शनाच्) from 9.3.2 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: jāti-naimittikaṃ (जाति-नैमित्तिकं) + yathā-sthānam (यथा-स्थानम्)
