Where it sits
In Vaiśeṣika (वैशेषिक) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 8. Knowing as it resides in substances. Perception, and what it does not reach. The line is short. sama-vāyinaḥ (सम-वायिनः) from 8.1.9 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
