2.2.11
Nyāya Sūtra / Adhyāya 2 / 2.2.11
न, लक्षणावस्थितापेक्षसिद्धेः
na, lakṣaṇāvasthitāpekṣasiddheḥ
The line
Not of a compound: lakṣa (लक्ष), ṇāva (णाव), sthi (स्थि), tāpekṣa (तापेक्ष), 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. tat-siddheḥ (तत्-सिद्धेः) from 2.2.10 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
