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. dravya-guṇa-karma-niṣpa-ttiva-idha-rmyāda-bhāva-stamaḥ (द्रव्य-गुण-कर्म-निष्प-त्तिव-इध-र्म्याद-भाव-स्तमः) from 5.2.19 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: tejasaḥ (तेजसः) + dravyāntareṇāvaraṇācca (द्रव्यान्तरेणावरणाच्च)
