4.2.22
Nyāya Sūtra / Adhyāya 4 / 4.2.22
अव्यूहाविष्टम्भविभुत्वानि चाकाशधर्माः
avyūhāviṣṭambhavibhutvāni cākāśadharmāḥ
The line
In a compound: avyū (अव्यू), hāvi (हावि), ṣṭambha (ष्टम्भ), what is pervasive, and tvāna (त्वान), a compound: and, space, and dharma, a property.
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. śabda-saṃyoga-vibhāvācca (शब्द-संयोग-विभावाच्च) from 4.2.21 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: avyū-hāvi-ṣṭambha-vibhu-tvāni (अव्यू-हावि-ष्टम्भ-विभु-त्वानि) + ca-ākāśa-dharmāḥ (च-आकाश-धर्माः)
