Nyāya Sūtra / Adhyāya 2 / 2.2.70
आकृतिः जातिलिङ्गाख्या
ākṛtiḥ jātiliṅgākhyā
The line
ākṛta (आकृत), a compound: a futile rejoinder, liṅgā (लिङ्गा), and khya (ख्य).
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. vyaktiḥ (व्यक्तिः) from 2.2.69 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: ākṛtiḥ (आकृतिः) + jāti-liṅgā-khyā (जाति-लिङ्गा-ख्या)
