Where it sits
In Vaiśeṣika (वैशेषिक) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 6. The Veda's sentences, and how dharma (धर्म) and adharma (अधर्म) are known. The line is short. tada-duṣṭe (तद-दुष्टे) from 6.1.9 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
