What are the meaning successive-rows (anuśreṇi)? The meaning of anu is successive. So the meaning of successive-rows is the regular series of successive space points (vertically and horizontally) in all directions higher up and lower and sideways. Which substance types have motion in successive-rows? Only jīva (living beings) and matter (pudgala) follow this type of motion.

In which part of space does successive-rows (anuśreṇi) movement takes place? It takes place in cosmos only and not in trans-cosmos (alokākāśa).
