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. sparśa-rasa-gandha-varṇa-vantaḥ (स्पर्श-रस-गन्ध-वर्ण-वन्तः) from 5.23 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
