3.1.11
Nyāya Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.1.11
दृष्टान्तविरोधातप्रतिषेधः
dṛṣṭāntavirodhāt apratiṣedhaḥ
The line
Because of a compound: an example, and a clash, the absence of a denial.
Where it sits
In Nyāya (न्याय) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 3. Examines the objects: the self, the body, the senses, the mind. The line is short. avayava-nāśe (अवयव-नाशे) from 3.1.10 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: dṛṣṭānta-virodhāt (दृष्टान्त-विरोधात्) + apratiṣedhaḥ (अप्रतिषेधः)
