nimittanaimittikopapatteśca tulyajātīyānāmapratiṣedhaḥ
The line
A compound: the efficient ground, naimi (नैमि), ttiko (त्तिको), papa (पप), and tteśca (त्तेश्च), a compound: like, equal, jātīyā (जातीया), by name, indeed, 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. doṣa-lakṣa-ṇāva-rodhā-nmohasya (दोष-लक्ष-णाव-रोधा-न्मोहस्य) from 4.1.8 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
