3.2.64
Nyāya Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.2.64
तथा आहारस्य
tathā āhārasya
The line
So, in that way, of āhāra (आहार).
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. utpatti-nimitta-tvāt (उत्पत्ति-निमित्त-त्वात्) from 3.2.63 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: tathā (तथा) + āhārasya (आहारस्य)
