4.1.2
Nyāya Sūtra / Adhyāya 4 / 4.1.2
तथा दोषाः
tathā doṣāḥ
The line
So, in that way, a fault.
Where it sits
In Nyāya (न्याय) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 4. Examines action, fault, rebirth, fruit, pain, and release, and then the whole and the part. The line is short. pravṛtti-ryathoktā (प्रवृत्ति-र्यथोक्ता) from 4.1.1 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) + doṣāḥ (दोषाः)
