2.1.19
Nyāya Sūtra / Adhyāya 2 / 2.1.19
न, प्रदीपप्रकाशसिद्धिवत् तत्सिद्धेः
na, pradīpaprakāśasiddhivat tatsiddheḥ
The line
Not pradīpaprakāśasiddhivat (प्रदीपप्रकाशसिद्धिवत्), of a compound: that, and established.
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. tadvinivṛtteḥ (तद्विनिवृत्तेः) from 2.1.18 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: na (न) + pradīpaprakāśasiddhivat (प्रदीपप्रकाशसिद्धिवत्) + tat-siddheḥ (तत्-सिद्धेः)
