3.1.27
Nyāya Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.1.27
पार्थिवं गुणान्तरोपलब्धेः
pārthivaṃ guṇāntaropalabdheḥ
The line
Made of earth, of guṇāntaropalabdha (गुणान्तरोपलब्ध).
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. saṅkalpa-nimitta-tvāta (सङ्कल्प-निमित्त-त्वात) from 3.1.26 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
