3.2.51
Nyāya Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.2.51
न, केशनखादिषु अनुपलब्धेः
na, keśanakhādiṣu anupalabdheḥ
The line
Not in keśanakhāda (केशनखाद), of not being found.
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. śarīra-vyāpitvāt (शरीर-व्यापित्वात्) from 3.2.50 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) + keśanakhādiṣu (केशनखादिषु) + anupalabdheḥ (अनुपलब्धेः)
