2.2.46
Nyāya Sūtra / Adhyāya 2 / 2.2.46
न, विकारधर्मानुपपत्तेः
na, vikāradharmānupapatteḥ
The line
Not of a compound: a transformation, dharmā (धर्मा), nupa (नुप), and patta (पत्त).
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. dravya-vikāra-vaiṣa-myavata (द्रव्य-विकार-वैष-म्यवत) from 2.2.45 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
