3.1.2

Vaiśeṣika Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.1.2

इन्द्रियार्थाप्रसिद्धिरिन्द्रियार्थेभ्योर्ऽथान्तरस्य हेतुः

indriyārthāprasiddhirindriyārthebhyor'thāntarasya hetuḥ

The line

Of a compound: indri (इन्द्रि), yārthāpra (यार्थाप्र), establishment, rindri (रिन्द्रि), yārthe (यार्थे), bhyo (भ्यो), r'thā (र्ऽथा), and ntara (न्तर), a reason.

Where it sits

In Vaiśeṣika (वैशेषिक) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 3. The objects of the senses are established, and the self is inferred. The line is short. prasiddhā (प्रसिद्धा) from 3.1.1 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
