4.1.35
Nyāya Sūtra / Adhyāya 4 / 4.1.35
न, अनेकलक्षणैरेकभावनिष्पत्तेः
na, anekalakṣaṇairekabhāvaniṣpatteḥ
The line
Not of a compound: several, lakṣa (लक्ष), ṇaireka (णैरेक), a state, and niṣpatta (निष्पत्त).
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. sarvaṃ (सर्वं) from 4.1.34 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: na (न) + aneka-lakṣa-ṇaireka-bhāva-niṣpatteḥ (अनेक-लक्ष-णैरेक-भाव-निष्पत्तेः)
