vyaktyākṛtijātayaḥ tu padārthaḥ
The line
vyaktyākṛtijātaya (व्यक्त्याकृतिजातय) but, a compound: a word, and a thing, a meaning.
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. ākṛtivyaktyapekṣatvāt (आकृतिव्यक्त्यपेक्षत्वात्) from 2.2.67 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: vyaktyākṛtijātayaḥ (व्यक्त्याकृतिजातयः) + tu (तु) + pada-arthaḥ (पद-अर्थः)
