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. pratijñā-tā-artha-pratiṣedha-dharma-vikalpāt (प्रतिज्ञा-ता-अर्थ-प्रतिषेध-धर्म-विकल्पात्) from 5.2.3 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: pratijñā-hetu-orvi-rodhaḥ (प्रतिज्ञा-हेतु-ओर्वि-रोधः) + pratijñā-avirodhaḥ (प्रतिज्ञा-अविरोधः)
