2.2.27
Nyāya Sūtra / Adhyāya 2 / 2.2.27
अध्यापनातप्रतिषेधः
adhyāpanāt apratiṣedhaḥ
The line
Because of adhyāpana (अध्यापन), the absence of a denial.
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. tadantarālānupalabdheḥ (तदन्तरालानुपलब्धेः) from 2.2.26 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
