The line
buddheścaiva (बुद्धेश्चैव), because of a compound: the efficient ground, sadbhā (सद्भा), vopa (वोप), and lambha (लम्भ).
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. mithyo-pala-bdhervi-nāśa-stattva-jñānā-tsva-pnavi-ṣayābhi-māna-praṇā-śavata (मिथ्यो-पल-ब्धेर्वि-नाश-स्तत्त्व-ज्ञाना-त्स्व-प्नवि-षयाभि-मान-प्रणा-शवत) from 4.2.35 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
