अदुष्टं विद्या

The line
aduṣṭa (अदुष्ट), knowing.
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. tat-duṣṭa-jñānam (तत्-दुष्ट-ज्ञानम्) from 9.2.11 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
