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. utta-makṣa-māmā-rdavā-rjava-sauca-satya-saṃyama-tapas-tyāgā-kiṃca-nyabra-hmacaryāṇi (उत्त-मक्ष-मामा-र्दवा-र्जव-सौच-सत्य-संयम-तपस्-त्यागा-किंच-न्यब्र-ह्मचर्याणि) from 9.6 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
