The line
A compound: many, a making by parts, possession, and the state of being that, not arakasyāyuṣa (अरकस्यायुष).
Where it sits
In Tattvārtha (तत्त्वार्थ) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 6. Āsrava (आस्रव). The inflow of karma (कर्म). The line is short. kaṣāyodayāt (कषायोदयात्) from 6.14 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: bahu-ārambha-parigraha-tvaṃ (बहु-आरम्भ-परिग्रह-त्वं) + na (न) + arakasyāyuṣaḥ (अरकस्यायुषः)
