Nyāya Sūtra / Adhyāya 4 / 4.2.51
ताभ्यां विगृह्यकथनम्
tābhyāṃ vigṛhyakathanam
The line
By means of by the two, for the two, vigṛhyakathana (विगृह्यकथन).
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. tattva-adhyavasāya-saṃra-kṣaṇā-rthaṃ (तत्त्व-अध्यवसाय-संर-क्षणा-र्थं) from 4.2.50 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
