त्रैकाल्यासिद्धेः प्रतिषेधानुपपत्तिः

The line
Of a compound: the three times, and not established, a compound: toward, against, ṣedhā (षेधा), nupa (नुप), and patta (पत्त).
Where it sits
In Nyāya (न्याय) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 2. Examines doubt, and then examines the means of knowing one by one. The line is short. yugapatsiddhau (युगपत्सिद्धौ) from 2.1.11 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
