3.1.67
Nyāya Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.1.67
न, पार्थिवाप्ययोः प्रत्यक्षत्वात्
na, pārthivāpyayoḥ pratyakṣatvāt
The line
Not of pārthivāpya (पार्थिवाप्य), because of a compound: direct, and the state of being that.
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. viṣṭaṃ (विष्टं) from 3.1.66 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) + pārthivāpyayoḥ (पार्थिवाप्ययोः) + pratyakṣa-tvāt (प्रत्यक्ष-त्वात्)
