Nyāya Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.2.12
न, उत्पत्तिविनाशकारणोपलब्धेः
na, utpattivināśakāraṇopalabdheḥ
The line
Not of a compound: arising, the origin, without, śakā (शका), raṇo (रणो), pala (पल), and bdha (ब्ध).
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. niyama-hetu-abhāvāt (नियम-हेतु-अभावात्) from 3.2.11 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
