The line
nikāra (निकार), vātaduktaheta (वातदुक्तहेत).
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. liṅga-dakśanāt (लिङ्ग-दक्शनात्) from 9.3.5 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: nikāro (निकारो) + vātaduktahetuḥ (वातदुक्तहेतुः)
