Where it sits
In Tattvārtha (तत्त्वार्थ) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 1. The path, the seven tattvas (तत्त्व), and the means of knowing. The kinds of sense-grasping in 1.16 are the Śvetāmbara (श्वेताम्बर) list: many, of many sorts, swift, without a mark, aniśrita (अनिश्रित), undoubted, asaṃdigdha (असंदिग्ध), and steady, with their opposites. The Digambara (दिगम्बर) reading lists many, of many sorts, swift, unexpressed, unspoken, and steady. The line that avadhi (अवधि) is twofold, 1.21, and the last line, 1.35, are the Śvetāmbara (श्वेताम्बर) reading. The Sarvārthasiddhi (सर्वार्थसिद्धि) does not carry them as its own sūtras (सूत्र). The words of this line are the ones to keep. A shorter line after this one may leave them unsaid.
Split: mati-śrutayoḥ (मति-श्रुतयोः) + nibandhaḥ (निबन्धः) + sarva-dravyeṣva (सर्व-द्रव्येष्व) + asarvaparyāyeṣu (असर्वपर्यायेषु)
