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. praṇi-dhāna-ni-bandha-abhyāsa--liṅga--lakṣa-ṇa-sā-dṛśi-a-pa-rigra-hāśra-yāśrita (प्रणि-धान-नि-बन्ध-अभ्यास--लिङ्ग--लक्ष-ण-सा-दृशि-अ-प-रिग्र-हाश्र-याश्रित) from 3.2.41 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
