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. ārttaraudradharmyaśuklāni (आर्त्तरौद्रधर्म्यशुक्लानि) from 9.28 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
