4.1.68
Nyāya Sūtra / Adhyāya 4 / 4.1.68
न, सङ्कल्पनिमित्तत्वाच्च रागादीनाम्
na, saṅkalpanimittatvācca rāgādīnām
The line
Not a compound: saṅkalpa (सङ्कल्प), the efficient ground, and tvācca (त्वाच्च), a compound: rāgādī (रागादी), and by name, indeed.
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. aṇuśyā-matā-nitya-tvavada (अणुश्या-मता-नित्य-त्ववद) from 4.1.67 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) + saṅkalpa-nimitta-tvācca (सङ्कल्प-निमित्त-त्वाच्च) + rāgādī-nāma (रागादी-नाम)
