शरीरव्यापित्वात्
śarīravyāpitvāt
The line
Because of a compound: the body, and vyāpitva (व्यापित्व).
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. prati-dvandvi-siddheḥ (प्रति-द्वन्द्वि-सिद्धेः) from 3.2.49 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
