Where it sits
In Tattvārtha (तत्त्वार्थ) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 4. The gods and the heavenly abodes. The line is short. saudha-rmai-śāna-sāna-tkumā-ramā-hendra-brahma-brahmo-ttara-lānta-vakā-piṣṭhaśu-krama-hāśu-kraśa-tāra-saha-srāreṣva (सौध-र्मै-शान-सान-त्कुमा-रमा-हेन्द्र-ब्रह्म-ब्रह्मो-त्तर-लान्त-वका-पिष्ठशु-क्रम-हाशु-क्रश-तार-सह-स्रारेष्व) from 4.19 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
