The line
In a compound: the absence of that, ścāpa (श्चाप), and varga (वर्ग).
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. niṣpannāvaśyambhāvitvāt (निष्पन्नावश्यम्भावित्वात्) from 4.2.44 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
