3.1.2
Nyāya Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.1.2
न, विषयव्यवस्थानात्
na, viṣayavyavasthānāt
The line
Not because of a compound: an object, vyava (व्यव), and the place, the order.
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. darśana-sparśa-nābhyām (दर्शन-स्पर्श-नाभ्याम्) from 3.1.1 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
