The line
A compound: an equalizing, a rejoinder that turns an example back, naskā (नस्का), and manaska (मनस्क).
Where it sits
In Tattvārtha (तत्त्वार्थ) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 2. Jīva (जीव). The soul, its states, and the kinds of beings. The line is short. saṃsāriṇo (संसारिणो) from 2.10 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
