पीतपद्मशुक्ललेश्या द्वित्रिशेषेषु

The line
pītapadmaśuklaleśya (पीतपद्मशुक्ललेश्य), in a compound: two, three, and the rest, what remains over.
Where it sits
In Tattvārtha (तत्त्वार्थ) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 4. The gods and the heavenly abodes. The line is short. gati-śarīra-pari-grahā-bhimā-nataḥ (गति-शरीर-परि-ग्रहा-भिमा-नतः) from 4.21 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
