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. paraḥ (परः) from 9.4.36 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: vihita-pratiṣedhaḥ (विहित-प्रतिषेधः) + vā (वा)
