कार्यं कार्यान्तरस्य
kāryaṃ kāryāntarasya
The line
An effect, of a compound: an effect, and a difference, an interval.
Where it sits
In Vaiśeṣika (वैशेषिक) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 3. The objects of the senses are established, and the self is inferred. The line is short. saṃyogi (संयोगि) from 3.1.9 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: kāryaṃ (कार्यं) + kārya-antarasya (कार्य-अन्तरस्य)
