The line
A compound: a mark, vyava (व्यव), sthā (स्था), nādevā (नादेवा), and a denial.
Where it sits
In Nyāya (न्याय) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 4. Examines action, fault, rebirth, fruit, pain, and release, and then the whole and the part. The line is short. aneka-lakṣa-ṇaireka-bhāva-niṣpatteḥ (अनेक-लक्ष-णैरेक-भाव-निष्पत्तेः) from 4.1.35 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
