The line
Of mūrtimata (मूर्तिमत) and, saṃsthānopapatteravayavasadbhāva (संस्थानोपपत्तेरवयवसद्भाव).
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. avyū-hāvi-ṣṭambha-vibhu-tvāni (अव्यू-हावि-ष्टम्भ-विभु-त्वानि) from 4.2.22 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: mūrtimatāṃ (मूर्तिमतां) + ca (च) + saṃsthānopapatteravayavasadbhāvaḥ (संस्थानोपपत्तेरवयवसद्भावः)
