3.2.7
Nyāya Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.2.7
अप्रत्यभिज्ञानं च विषयान्तरव्यासङ्गात्
apratyabhijñānaṃ ca viṣayāntaravyāsaṅgāt
The line
A compound: apra (अप्र), tyabhi (त्यभि), and knowing and, because of a compound: an object, a difference, an interval, and vyāsaṅga (व्यासङ्ग).
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. krama-vṛtti-tvāt (क्रम-वृत्ति-त्वात्) from 3.2.6 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: apra-tyabhi-jñānaṃ (अप्र-त्यभि-ज्ञानं) + ca (च) + viṣaya-antara-vyāsaṅgāt (विषय-अन्तर-व्यासङ्गात्)
