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. paurvā-paryā-yogāda-prati-samba-ddhā-rtha-mapā-rthakam (पौर्वा-पर्या-योगाद-प्रति-सम्ब-द्धा-र्थ-मपा-र्थकम्) from 5.2.10 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
