Where it sits
In Vaiśeṣika (वैशेषिक) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 9. What is not yet, and the kinds of cognition, including absence. The line is short. etenāghaṭo (एतेनाघटो) from 9.1.8 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: abhūtaṃ (अभूतं) + na (न) + astītyanarthāntaram (अस्तीत्यनर्थान्तरम्)
