2.1.58
Nyāya Sūtra / Adhyāya 2 / 2.1.58
तदप्रामाण्यमनृतव्याघातपुनरुक्तदोषेभ्यः
tadaprāmāṇyam anṛtavyāghātapunaruktadoṣebhyaḥ
The line
A compound: tada (तद), and being a means of knowing, for a compound: false speech, a collision, puna (पुन), rukta (रुक्त), and a fault.
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. jāti-viśeṣe (जाति-विशेषे) from 2.1.57 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: tada-prāmāṇyam (तद-प्रामाण्यम्) + anṛta-vyāghāta-puna-rukta-doṣebhyaḥ (अनृत-व्याघात-पुन-रुक्त-दोषेभ्यः)
