Where it sits
In Tattvārtha (तत्त्वार्थ) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 6. Āsrava (आस्रव). The inflow of karma (कर्म). The line is short. svabhāva-mārdavaṃ (स्वभाव-मार्दवं) from 6.18 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
