The line
Because of a compound: a sense, a difference, an interval, and a transformation.
Where it sits
In Nyāya (न्याय) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 3. Examines the objects: the self, the body, the senses, the mind. The line is short. dṛṣṭānta-virodhāt (दृष्टान्त-विरोधात्) from 3.1.11 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
