Nyāya Sūtra / Adhyāya 4 / 4.1.56
न, सुखस्याप्यन्तरालनिष्पत्तेः
na, sukhasyāpyantarālaniṣpatteḥ
The line
Not of a compound: pleasure, syāpya (स्याप्य), ntarā (न्तरा), lani (लनि), and ṣpatta (ष्पत्त).
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. vivi-dhavā-dhanā-yogāt (विवि-धवा-धना-योगात्) from 4.1.55 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
