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. kāraṇa (कारण) from 7.1.9 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
