Tattvārtha Sūtra / 6. Āsrava (आस्रव) / 6.16

माया तैर्यग्योनस्य

māyā tairyagyonasya

The line

māya (माय), of tairyagyona (तैर्यग्योन).

Where it sits

In Tattvārtha (तत्त्वार्थ) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 6. Āsrava (आस्रव). The inflow of karma (कर्म). The line is short. bahu-ārambha-parigraha-tvaṃ (बहु-आरम्भ-परिग्रह-त्वं) from 6.15 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
