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. tejasaḥ (तेजसः) from 5.2.20 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: dikkālāvākāśaṃ (दिक्कालावाकाशं) + ca (च) + kriyāva-dvaidha-rmyā-nniṣkriyāṇi (क्रियाव-द्वैध-र्म्या-न्निष्क्रियाणि)
