अन्यदेव हेतुरित्यनपदेशः
anyadeva heturityanapadeśaḥ
The line
Another. anyat before a voiced sound just, a compound: a reason, ritya (रित्य), napa (नप), 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. ajñānācca (अज्ञानाच्च) from 3.1.6 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: anyad (अन्यद्) + eva (एव) + hetu-ritya-napa-deśaḥ (हेतु-रित्य-नप-देशः)
