hetvabhāvādasiddhiḥ
The line
A compound: a reason, abhā (अभा), honest debate, and established.
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. māyā-gandha-rvana-gara-mṛga-tṛṣṇi-kāvadvā (माया-गन्ध-र्वन-गर-मृग-तृष्णि-कावद्वा) from 4.2.32 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
