3.2.29
Nyāya Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.2.29
न, तदाशुगतित्वान्मनसः
na, tadāśugatitvānmanasaḥ
The line
Not a compound: tadāśu (तदाशु), going, a course, tvānma (त्वान्म), and nasa (नस).
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. smarataḥ (स्मरतः) from 3.2.28 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) + tadāśu-gati-tvānma-nasaḥ (तदाशु-गति-त्वान्म-नसः)
