Nyāya Sūtra / Adhyāya 5 / 5.1.25
उभयोकारणोपपत्तेरुपपत्तिसमः
ubhayokāraṇopapatterupapattisamaḥ
The line
A compound: ubha (उभ), yokā (योका), raṇo (रणो), papa (पप), tteru (त्तेरु), papatti (पपत्ति), and an equalizing, a rejoinder that turns an example back.
Where it sits
In Nyāya (न्याय) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 5. The false rejoinders, called jāti (जाति), and the points on which a debate is lost. The line is short. kvaciddharmānupapatteḥ (क्वचिद्धर्मानुपपत्तेः) from 5.1.24 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
