The line
A compound: bhara (भर), taha (तह), imava (इमव), taha (तह), rivi (रिवि), a body, ramya (रम्य), kaha (कह), iraṇya (इरण्य), vata (वत), irāva (इराव), and tavarṣa (तवर्ष), in kṣetraṇa (क्षेत्रण).
Where it sits
In Tattvārtha (तत्त्वार्थ) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 3. The lower world and the middle world. The line is short. tanmadhye (तन्मध्ये) from 3.9 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
