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. buddhi-lakṣaṇa-adhiṣṭhāna--gatyā-kṛti--jāti-pañcatvebhyaḥ (बुद्धि-लक्षण-अधिष्ठान--गत्या-कृति--जाति-पञ्चत्वेभ्यः) from 3.1.60 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
