Where it sits
In Tattvārtha (तत्त्वार्थ) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 4. The gods and the heavenly abodes. The line is short. indra-sāmā-nika-trāya-stri-ṃśapā-riṣa-dātma-rakṣa-loka-pālā-nīka (इन्द्र-सामा-निक-त्राय-स्त्रि-ंशपा-रिष-दात्म-रक्ष-लोक-पाला-नीक) from 4.4 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
