Where it sits
In Vaiśeṣika (वैशेषिक) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 5. Action: movement in the hand, and what sets a thing moving. The line is short. tṛṇe (तृणे) from 5.1.14 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: maṇi-gamanaṃ (मणि-गमनं) + sūcya-bhisa-rpaṇama-dṛṣṭa-kāraṇam (सूच्य-भिस-र्पणम-दृष्ट-कारणम्)
