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. kṛtsna-ikadeśā-vṛtti-tvāda-vayavā-nāma-vayavya-bhāvaḥ (कृत्स्न-इकदेशा-वृत्ति-त्वाद-वयवा-नाम-वयव्य-भावः) from 4.2.7 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: teṣu (तेषु) + cāvṛ-ttera-vayavya-bhāvaḥ (चावृ-त्तेर-वयव्य-भावः)
