II. Bahuvr. m. (-yaḥ) ¹ (In the Nyāya philosophy.)

Founded on the mutual relation (between two objects),

one of the five modes of a tarka (q. v.), viz. an argumen-

tatio ad absurdum, which consists in founding a premise

on the imaginary relation between two objects and in

drawing a conclusion from it which is inadmissible.

This kind of argumentation may again ‘be threefold ac-

cording to whether the argument of the premise is taken

from the notion of origin or from that of actuality or from

that of comprehension’ (‘sa cotpattisthitijñaptidvārā tredhā

…. tadapekṣāpekṣitvanibandhano'niṣṭaprasaṅgaḥ ..’). For

the other four modes of a tarka see: ātmāśraya, cakraka, ana-

vasthā and tadanyabādhitārthaprasaṅga. [A commentator of the

Sāṅkhya-Pravachana applies three of these terms to the ex-

planation of the Sūtra: ‘tadyoge tatsiddhāvanyonyāśrayatvam’ in

this manner: ‘avidyāyogādavidyāsiddhau cānyonyāśrayatvamā-

tmāśrayatvamanavasthā veti śeṣaḥ ..’.] ² (In the Sāṅkhya philos.)

Resting on one another, supporting one another; a property

of the three guṇa or qualities sattva, rajas and tamas, ‘these

qualities resting on each other like binary atoms’; see anyo-

nyajanana and anyonyāśrayavṛtti. E. anyonya and āśraya.

m. (-yaḥ) Mutual or reciprocal connexion or dependance.

E.
