4.1.65
Nyāya Sūtra / Adhyāya 4 / 4.1.65
न, क्लेशसन्ततेः स्वाभाविकत्वात्
na, kleśasantateḥ svābhāvikatvāt
The line
Not of a compound: an affliction, and santata (सन्तत), because of svābhāvikatva (स्वाभाविकत्व).
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. pravṛttiḥ (प्रवृत्तिः) from 4.1.64 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) + kleśa-santateḥ (क्लेश-सन्ततेः) + svābhāvikatvāt (स्वाभाविकत्वात्)
