7.1.1
Vaiśeṣika Sūtra / Adhyāya 7 / 7.1.1
उक्ता गुणाः
uktā guṇāḥ
The line
What has been said, qualities.
Where it sits
In Vaiśeṣika (वैशेषिक) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 7. The qualities, taken up again: number, measure, conjunction, and the rest. The line is short. ātmakarmasu (आत्मकर्मसु) from 6.2.16 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: uktā (उक्ता) + guṇāḥ (गुणाः)
