Where it sits
In Tattvārtha (तत्त्वार्थ) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 9. Saṃvara (संवर) and nirjarā (निर्जरा). Stoppage, and the wearing away. The line is short. ācāryo-pādhyāya-tapas-viśa-ikṣaglā-naga-ṇaku-lasa-ṃgha-sādhu-manojñānām (आचार्यो-पाध्याय-तपस्-विश-इक्षग्ला-नग-णकु-लस-ंघ-साधु-मनोज्ञानाम्) from 9.24 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
