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. uṣṇa-śīta-varṣā-kāla-nimitta-tvāta (उष्ण-शीत-वर्षा-काल-निमित्त-त्वात) from 3.1.20 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
