3.1.26
Nyāya Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.1.26
न, सङ्कल्पनिमित्तत्वात् रागादीनाम्
na, saṅkalpanimittatvāt rāgādīnām
The line
Not a compound: saṅkalpa (सङ्कल्प), the efficient ground, and tvāta (त्वात), a compound: rāgādī (रागादी), and by name, indeed.
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. saguṇadravyotpattivat (सगुणद्रव्योत्पत्तिवत्) from 3.1.25 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: na (न) + saṅkalpa-nimitta-tvāta (सङ्कल्प-निमित्त-त्वात) + rāgādī-nāma (रागादी-नाम)
