The line
A compound: so, and the later.
Where it sits
In Tattvārtha (तत्त्वार्थ) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 3. The lower world and the middle world. The line is short. ekadvitripalopamasthitayo (एकद्वित्रिपलोपमस्थितयो) from 3.29 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
