Nyāya Sūtra / Adhyāya 4 / 4.2.42
अरण्यगुहापुलिनादिषु योगाभ्यासोपदेशः
araṇyaguhāpulinādiṣu yogābhyāsopadeśaḥ
The line
In a compound: araṇya (अरण्य), a cave, puli (पुलि), and nāda (नाद), a compound: a joining, practice, and teaching.
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. pūrva-kṛta-phala-anu-bandhāt (पूर्व-कृत-फल-अनु-बन्धात्) from 4.2.41 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: araṇya-guhā-puli-nādiṣu (अरण्य-गुहा-पुलि-नादिषु) + yoga-abhyāsa-upadeśaḥ (योग-अभ्यास-उपदेशः)
