Where it sits
In Nyāya (न्याय) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 2. Examines doubt, and then examines the means of knowing one by one. The line is short. śabdaḥ (शब्दः) from 2.1.50 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: upalabdheḥ (उपलब्धेः) + advi-pravṛtti-tvāta (अद्वि-प्रवृत्ति-त्वात)
