एकत्वेपि गुणानपायात्
ekatvepi guṇānapāyāt
The line
In ekatvepa (एकत्वेप), because of guṇānapāya (गुणानपाय).
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. saṃsargitvāc (संसर्गित्वाच्) from 9.3.39 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
