Tattvārtha Sūtra / 2. Jīva (जीव) / 2.12
संसारिणस् त्रसस्थावराः
saṃsāriṇas trasasthāvarāḥ
The line
saṃsāriṇas (संसारिण), a compound: a mobile being, and a stationary being.
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. sama-naskā-manaskāḥ (सम-नस्का-मनस्काः) from 2.11 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: saṃsāriṇas (संसारिण) + trasa-sthāvarāḥ (त्रस-स्थावराः)
