    9 (In Nyāya) Statement of the constant and invariable concomitance of the hetu (middle term) and the sādhya (major term) of an Indian syllogism (hetusādhyayorvyāptiranvayaḥ). In the familiar instance parvato vahnimān dhūmavattvāt the relation yatra yatra dhūmastatra tatra vahniḥ (wherever there is smoke there is fire) is called anvaya or anvayavyāpti, anvaya, in fact, corresponds to the universal A proposition of European logic ‘All A is B.’ The ‘vyatirekavyāpti’ means an assertion of the concomitance of the absence of sādhya and the absence of hetu (tadabhāvayoḥ hetvabhāvasādhyābhāvayoḥ vyāptiḥ) and corresponds to the converted A proposition ‘All notB is not-A’; or in Sanskrit yatra yatra vahnirnāsti tatra tatra dhūmopi nāsti; and a cause or hetu is said to be connected with its effect by anvayavyatirekavyāpti when both the affirmative and negative relations between the thing to be proved and the cause that proves can be equally asserted; such a Hetu alone makes the argument perfectly sound and incapable of refutation. This process of arriving at the Vyāpti or universal proposition corresponds to the methods of Agreement and Difference in Mill's Logic; sādhye niścitamanvayena ghaṭitaṃ Mu. 5. 10.
