Where it sits
In Tattvārtha (तत्त्वार्थ) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 8. Bandha (बन्ध). Bondage, and how karma (कर्म) is bound. The line is short. uccairnīcaiś (उच्चैर्नीचैश्) from 8.12 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
