2.1.63

Nyāya Sūtra / Adhyāya 2 / 2.1.63

विध्यर्थवादानुवादवचनविनियोगात्

vidhyarthavādānuvādavacanaviniyogāt

The line

Because of a compound: an injunction, praise, words that are not the command, a repetition, a statement, and the application of a text.

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. vākya-vibhāgasya (वाक्य-विभागस्य) from 2.1.62 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
