2.2.33
Vaiśeṣika Sūtra / Adhyāya 2 / 2.2.33
द्वयोस्तु प्रवृत्त्योरभावात्
dvayostu pravṛttyorabhāvāt
The line
dvayostu (द्वयोस्तु), because of a compound: activity, setting out to act, and orabhāva (ओरभाव).
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. liṅgāccā-nityaḥ (लिङ्गाच्चा-नित्यः) from 2.2.32 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: dvayostu (द्वयोस्तु) + pravṛtti-orabhāvāt (प्रवृत्ति-ओरभावात्)
