Where it sits
In Vaiśeṣika (वैशेषिक) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 4. The eternal and the non-eternal. Atoms. The body. The line is short. aniya-tadi-gdeśa-pūrva-katvāt (अनिय-तदि-ग्देश-पूर्व-कत्वात्) from 4.2.6 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
