Tattvārtha Sūtra / 2. Jīva (जीव) / 2.23

कृइमिपिपीलकाभ्रमरमनुष्यादिनामेकैकवृद्धानि

kṛimipipīlakābhramaramanuṣyādinām ekaikavṛddhāni

The line

A compound: kṛimi (कृइमि), pipī (पिपी), lakā (लका), bhra (भ्र), mara (मर), manu (मनु), ṣyādi (ष्यादि), and by name, indeed, ekaikavṛddha (एकैकवृद्ध).

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. vanaspati-antānām (वनस्पति-अन्तानाम्) from 2.22 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
