3.1.3

Vaiśeṣika Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.1.3

सोऽनपदेशः

so 'napadeśaḥ

The line

He, that. saḥ (सः) before a voiced sound, a compound: anapa (अनप), and a place.

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. indri-yārthāpra-siddhi-rindri-yārthe-bhyo-r'thā-ntarasya (इन्द्रि-यार्थाप्र-सिद्धि-रिन्द्रि-यार्थे-भ्यो-र्ऽथा-न्तरस्य) from 3.1.2 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
