2.21
Tattvārtha Sūtra / 2. Jīva (जीव) / 2.21
श्रुतमनिन्द्रियस्य
śrutam anindriyasya
The line
Heard, of anindriya (अनिन्द्रिय).
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. sparśa-rasa-gandha-varṇa-śabdāḥ (स्पर्श-रस-गन्ध-वर्ण-शब्दाः) from 2.20 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
