Nyāya Sūtra / Adhyāya 4 / 4.2.29
प्रमाणतश्चार्थप्रतिपत्तेः
pramāṇataścārthapratipatteḥ
The line
Of a compound: a means, taścā (तश्चा), rtha (र्थ), toward, against, and patta (पत्त).
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. tadāśrayatvādapṛthaggrahaṇam (तदाश्रयत्वादपृथग्ग्रहणम्) from 4.2.28 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
