The line
Because of a compound: kālā (काला), ntare (न्तरे), ṇāni (णानि), ṣpatti (ष्पत्ति), a reason, and rvināśa (र्विनाश).
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. sadyaḥ (सद्यः) from 4.1.45 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
