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. vaṅkrīṇāṃ (वङ्क्रीणां) from 9.4.7 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: tāsāṃ (तासां) + ca (च) + kṛtsna-vacanāt (कृत्स्न-वचनात्)
