Where it sits
In Tattvārtha (तत्त्वार्थ) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 7. The vows. The line is short. maitrīpramodakāruṇyamādhyasthyāni (मैत्रीप्रमोदकारुण्यमाध्यस्थ्यानि) from 7.11 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
