Nyāya Sūtra / Adhyāya 2 / 2.2.63
न, ततनवस्थानात्
na, tat anavasthānāt
The line
Not that, because of a compound: anava (अनव), and the place, the order.
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. yāśa-bda-sa-mūha--tyā-ga-pa-rigra-ha-sa-ṅkhyā--vṛddhya-paca-ya-va-rṇa-sa-māsānu-bandhānām (याश-ब्द-स-मूह--त्या-ग-प-रिग्र-ह-स-ङ्ख्या--वृद्ध्य-पच-य-व-र्ण-स-मासानु-बन्धानाम्) from 2.2.62 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
