5.1.6
Vaiśeṣika Sūtra / Adhyāya 5 / 5.1.6
आत्मकर्म हस्तसंयोगाच्च
ātmakarma hastasaṃyogācca
The line
A compound: ātma (आत्म), and action, hastasaṃyogācca (हस्तसंयोगाच्च).
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. abhighātānmusalasaṃyogāddhaste (अभिघातान्मुसलसंयोगाद्धस्ते) from 5.1.5 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: ātma-karma (आत्म-कर्म) + hastasaṃyogācca (हस्तसंयोगाच्च)
