3.2.72
Nyāya Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.2.72
न, अकृताभ्यागमप्रसङ्गात्
na, akṛtābhyāgamaprasaṅgāt
The line
Not because of a compound: akṛtā (अकृता), bhyā (भ्या), gama (गम), and an unwanted consequence.
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. aṇuśyāmatānityatvavat (अणुश्यामतानित्यत्ववत्) from 3.2.71 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
