The line
Of a compound: a transformation, and what already follows, of apunarāpatta (अपुनरापत्त).
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. vikāra-dharmā-nupa-patteḥ (विकार-धर्मा-नुप-पत्तेः) from 2.2.46 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
