Where it sits
In Tattvārtha (तत्त्वार्थ) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 4. The gods and the heavenly abodes. The line is short. sthiti-prabhāva-sukha-dyuti-leśyā-viśu-ddhī-ndri-yāva-dhivi-ṣayato (स्थिति-प्रभाव-सुख-द्युति-लेश्या-विशु-द्धी-न्द्रि-याव-धिवि-षयतो) from 4.20 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: gati-śarīra-pari-grahā-bhimā-nataḥ (गति-शरीर-परि-ग्रहा-भिमा-नतः) + hīnāḥ (हीनाः)
