6.7
Tattvārtha Sūtra / 6. Āsrava (आस्रव) / 6.7
अधिकरणं जीवाजीवाः
adhikaraṇaṃ jīvājīvāḥ
The line
A topic, a section of the argument, a compound: a soul, and what is not a soul.
Where it sits
In Tattvārtha (तत्त्वार्थ) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 6. Āsrava (आस्रव). The inflow of karma (कर्म). The line is short. tīvra-manda-jñātā-jñāta-bhāva-adhikaraṇa-vīrya-viśeṣebhyaḥ (तीव्र-मन्द-ज्ञाता-ज्ञात-भाव-अधिकरण-वीर्य-विशेषेभ्यः) from 6.6 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
