The line
viṃśatir (विंशतिर्), of a compound: by name, indeed, and gotra (गोत्र).
Where it sits
In Tattvārtha (तत्त्वार्थ) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 8. Bandha (बन्ध). Bondage, and how karma (कर्म) is bound. The line is short. saptatir (सप्ततिर्) from 8.15 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: viṃśatir (विंशतिर्) + nāma-gotrayoḥ (नाम-गोत्रयोः)
