Where it sits

In Vaiśeṣika (वैशेषिक) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 2. Earth, water, fire, air, and the qualities that mark them. Then ether, time, and space. The line is short. kriyā-vat-tvāt (क्रिया-वत्-त्वात्) from 2.1.12 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
