The line
Of a compound: prasi (प्रसि), ddhi (द्धि), the earlier, katvā (कत्वा), dapa (दप), and a place.
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. bhūtaḥ (भूतः) from 3.1.13 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
