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. brāhmaṇe (ब्राह्मणे) from 6.1.2 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: buddhi-pūrvaḥ (बुद्धि-पूर्वः) + dadātiḥ (ददातिः)
