Where it sits
In Brahma Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 3. Sādhana (साधन). The means: who is fit, what is meditated on, and the soul's path. The line is short. śeṣa-tvātpu-ruṣā-rtha-vādaḥ (शेष-त्वात्पु-रुषा-र्थ-वादः) from 3.4.2 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
