3.2.65
Nyāya Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.2.65
प्राप्तौ च अनियमात्
prāptau ca aniyamāt
The line
What already follows and, because of the absence of a fixed rule.
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. āhārasya (आहारस्य) from 3.2.64 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: prāptau (प्राप्तौ) + ca (च) + aniyamāt (अनियमात्)
