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 words of this line are the ones to keep. A shorter line after this one may leave them unsaid.
Split: gotvād (गोत्वाद्) + gosiddhivat (गोसिद्धिवत्) + tat-siddhiḥ (तत्-सिद्धिः) + utkarṣa-samādi-jāti-ṣaṭka-prakaraṇa-m(4-6)ṭa (उत्कर्ष-समादि-जाति-षट्क-प्रकरण-म्(4-6)ट)
