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. adṛṣṭa-kāritam (अदृष्ट-कारितम्) from 3.2.68 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: mana-ḥkarma-nimitta-tvāta (मन-ःकर्म-निमित्त-त्वात) + ca (च) + saṃyogāvyucchedaḥ (संयोगाव्युच्छेदः)
