4.1.53
Nyāya Sūtra / Adhyāya 4 / 4.1.53
न पुत्रपशुस्त्रीपरिच्छेदहिरण्यान्नादिफलनिर्द्देशात्
na putrapaśustrīparicchedahiraṇyānnādiphalanirddeśāt
The line
Not because of a compound: putra (पुत्र), an animal offering, strī (स्त्री), pari (परि), cche (च्छे), dahi (दहि), raṇyā (रण्या), nnādi (न्नादि), a fruit, and nirddeśa (निर्द्देश).
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. prīte-rātmā-śraya-tvāda-pratiṣedhaḥ (प्रीते-रात्मा-श्रय-त्वाद-प्रतिषेधः) from 4.1.52 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
