    ananubhāṣaṇa Tatpur. n. (-ṇam) (In the Nyāya philosophy.)

    Not repeating the argument for discussion, i. e. a tacit

    agreement with it or assent to the assertion of the person

    who has proposed it; viz. if, after the argument for dis-

    cussion has been announced, it has not been repeated by

    any one--the sign of taking it up--the proposer has to

    proclaim it three times; if then it does not meet with the

    anubhāṣana, it is considered as proved or as accepted as

    such. E. a neg. and anubhāṣaṇa.
