3.1.16
Vaiśeṣika Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.1.16
यस्माद्विषाणी तस्मादश्वः
yasmādviṣāṇī tasmādaśvaḥ
The line
yasmādviṣāṇa (यस्माद्विषाण), tasmādaśva (तस्मादश्व).
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. apra-siddho (अप्र-सिद्धो) from 3.1.15 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
