5.1.19
Nyāya Sūtra / Adhyāya 5 / 5.1.19
न हेतुतः साध्यसिद्धेस्त्रैकाल्यास्सिद्धिः
na hetutaḥ sādhyasiddhestraikālyāssiddhiḥ
The line
Not a compound: a reason, and taḥa (तःअ), a compound: what is to be established, siddhe (सिद्धे), stra (स्त्र), ikālyā (इकाल्या), and ssiddha (स्सिद्ध).
Where it sits
In Nyāya (न्याय) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 5. The false rejoinders, called jāti (जाति), and the points on which a debate is lost. The line is short. trai-kālyā-siddhe-rhetora-hetu-samaḥ (त्रै-काल्या-सिद्धे-र्हेतोर-हेतु-समः) from 5.1.18 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) + hetu-taḥa (हेतु-तःअ) + sādhya-siddhe-stra-ikālyā-ssiddhiḥ (साध्य-सिद्धे-स्त्र-इकाल्या-स्सिद्धिः)
