The line
A compound: touch, nara (नर), sana (सन), the nose, cakṣu (चक्षु), and ḥśrotra (ःश्रोत्र).
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. labdhyupa-yogau (लब्ध्युप-योगौ) from 2.18 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
