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: prāpya (प्राप्य) + sādhya-maprāpya (साध्य-मप्राप्य) + vā (वा) + hetoḥ (हेतोः) + prāptyāviśiṣṭatvādaprāptyāsādhāka (प्राप्त्याविशिष्टत्वादप्राप्त्यासाधाक) + tvācca (त्वाच्च) + prāptya-prāpti-samau (प्राप्त्य-प्राप्ति-समौ)
