Where it sits
In Tattvārtha (तत्त्वार्थ) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 10. Mokṣa (मोक्ष). Release. The line is short. āviddha-kulāla-cakra-vadvyapa-gata-lepā-lābu-vade-raṇḍa-bīja-vada-gniśi-khāvaca (आविद्ध-कुलाल-चक्र-वद्व्यप-गत-लेपा-लाबु-वदे-रण्ड-बीज-वद-ग्निशि-खावच) from 10.7 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
