3.1.64
Nyāya Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.1.64
न, सर्वगुणानुपलब्धेः
na, sarvaguṇānupalabdheḥ
The line
Not of a compound: all, guṇā (गुणा), nupa (नुप), and labdha (लब्ध).
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. ap-tejo-vāyūnāṃ (अप्-तेजो-वायूनां) from 3.1.63 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
