The line
In a holding and, because of because it is for another's sake.
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. prāsaṅgike (प्रासङ्गिके) from 9.4.28 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: dhāraṇe (धारणे) + ca (च) + parārthatvāt (परार्थत्वात्)
