3.1.13
Nyāya Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.1.13
न, स्मृतेः स्मर्त्तव्यविषयत्वात्
na, smṛteḥ smarttavyaviṣayatvāt
The line
Not because of because of a remembered text, a compound: smarttavya (स्मर्त्तव्य), an object, and tvāta (त्वात).
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. indriya-antara-vikārāt (इन्द्रिय-अन्तर-विकारात्) from 3.1.12 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
