Nyāya Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.1.60
न, बुद्धिलक्षणाधिष्ठान-गत्याकृति-जातिपञ्चत्वेभ्यः
na, buddhilakṣaṇādhiṣṭhāna-gatyākṛti-jātipañcatvebhyaḥ
The line
Not for a compound: the intellect, a mark, the seat, -gatyā (-गत्या), kṛti (कृति), -jāti (-जाति), and pañcatva (पञ्चत्व).
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. viṣaya-tvāvya-tirekāt (विषय-त्वाव्य-तिरेकात्) from 3.1.59 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
