5.31
Tattvārtha Sūtra / 5. Ajīva (अजीव) / 5.31
तद्भावाव्ययं नित्यम्
tadbhāvāvyayaṃ nityam
The line
tadbhāvāvyaya (तद्भावाव्यय), always.
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. utpāda-vyaya-dhra-uvya-yuktaṃ (उत्पाद-व्यय-ध्र-उव्य-युक्तं) from 5.30 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: tadbhāvāvyayaṃ (तद्भावाव्ययं) + nityam (नित्यम्)
