असंख्येयभागादिषु जीवानाम्
asaṃkhyeyabhāgādiṣu jīvānām
The line
In asaṃkhyeyabhāgāda (असंख्येयभागाद), of a soul.
Where it sits
In Tattvārtha (तत्त्वार्थ) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 5. Ajīva (अजीव). What is not soul: the media of motion and rest, space, matter, and time. The line is short. ekapradeśādiṣu (एकप्रदेशादिषु) from 5.14 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
