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. kārya-kāraṇa-yore-katva-ikapṛ-thaktvā-bhāvā-dekatvaika-pṛthaktvaṃ (कार्य-कारण-योरे-कत्व-इकपृ-थक्त्वा-भावा-देकत्वैक-पृथक्त्वं) from 7.2.7 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
