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. ayam (अयम्) from 8.2.1 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: dṛṣṭeṣu (दृष्टेषु) + bhāvā-dadṛ-ṣṭeṣva-bhāvāt (भावा-ददृ-ष्टेष्व-भावात्)
