यस्य साध्याभावसाधकं हेत्वन्तरं विद्यते स सत्प्रतिपक्षः । यथा शब्दो नित्यः श्रावणत्वात् शब्दत्ववत् । शब्दोऽनित्यः कार्यत्वाद् घटवत् yasya sādhyābhāvasādhakaṃ hetvantaraṃ vidyate sa satpratipakṣaḥ | yathā śabdo nityaḥ śrāvaṇatvāt śabdatvavat | śabdo 'nityaḥ kāryatvād ghaṭavat

The line

That reason is one with a standing rival when another reason is found which proves the absence of its thing-to-be-proved. As: sound is eternal because it is audible, like sound-ness; and sound is non-eternal because it is an effect, like a pot.

नेपालीमा

अर्को हेतु पाइँदा जसले त्यसको साध्यको अभाव सिद्ध गर्छ, त्यो हेतु उभिएको प्रतिपक्ष भएको हुन्छ। जस्तै शब्द नित्य हो किनकि त्यो सुन्न सकिन्छ, शब्दत्व जस्तै, र शब्द अनित्य हो किनकि त्यो कार्य हो, घडा जस्तै।

Where it sits

The unestablished reason is 56.

Split: yasya (यस्य) + sādhya-abhāva-sādhakam (साध्य-अभाव-साधकम्) + hetu-antaram (हेतु-अन्तरम्) + vidyate (विद्यते) + saḥ (सः) + satpratipakṣaḥ (सत्प्रतिपक्षः) + yathā (यथा) + śabdaḥ (शब्दः) + nityaḥ (नित्यः) + śrāvaṇatvāt (श्रावणत्वात्) + śabdatvavat (शब्दत्ववत्) + śabdaḥ (शब्दः) + anityaḥ (अनित्यः) + kāryatvāt (कार्यत्वात्) + ghaṭavat (घटवत्)

The phrases

Both reasons are still in the field. Neither has been set aside. That is the failure.

Sanskrit in this line

Hetu (हेतु) plus antaram (अन्तरम्) is hetvantaram (हेत्वन्तरम्).

Śabdaḥ (शब्दः) before anityaḥ (अनित्यः) is śabdo 'nityaḥ (शब्दोऽनित्यः).

Say it back

Say the two reasons that are left standing against each other.
