Where it sits
In Tattvārtha (तत्त्वार्थ) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 8. Bandha (बन्ध). Bondage, and how karma (कर्म) is bound. The line is short. prakṛti-sthiti-anubhava-pradeśāḥ (प्रकृति-स्थिति-अनुभव-प्रदेशाः) from 8.3 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
