The line

A compound: dvina (द्विन), vāṣṭā (वाष्टा), daśa (दश), ikavi (इकवि), ṃśatitri (ंशतित्रि), and a difference, a compound: as, and order.

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. aupaśamika-kṣāyikau (औपशमिक-क्षायिकौ) from 2.1 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).

Split: dvina-vāṣṭā-daśa-ikavi-ṃśatitri-bhedā (द्विन-वाष्टा-दश-इकवि-ंशतित्रि-भेदा) + yathā-kramam (यथा-क्रमम्)
