Where it sits
In Vaiśeṣika (वैशेषिक) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 10. Pleasure and pain are different things. The book closes on the authority of the Veda. The line is short. dṛṣṭānāṃ (दृष्टानां) from 10.2.8 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
