3.2.57
Nyāya Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.2.57
न, युगपतनेकक्रियोपलब्धेः
na, yugapat anekakriyopalabdheḥ
The line
Not at one time, of a compound: several, kriyo (क्रियो), 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. jñānāyaugapadyāt (ज्ञानायौगपद्यात्) from 3.2.56 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) + yugapat (युगपत्) + aneka-kriyo-pala-bdheḥ (अनेक-क्रियो-पल-ब्धेः)
