The line
A compound: tadātma (तदात्म), a quality, sadbhā (सद्भा), and vāta (वात), the absence of a denial.
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. smṛteḥ (स्मृतेः) from 3.1.13 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: tadātma-guṇa-sadbhā-vāta (तदात्म-गुण-सद्भा-वात) + apratiṣedhaḥ (अप्रतिषेधः)
