The line
Of a compound: dvya (द्व्य), dhikādi (धिकादि), and a quality but.
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. guṇa-sāmye (गुण-साम्ये) from 5.35 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
