Pronunciations

Basic Meaning: both presence and absence in similar instances, absence in dissimilar instances

Senses:

  • In Buddhist logic 因明, the eighth of the nine possible conditions of a reason in a syllogism based on its properties 九句因. For instance, a Vaiśeṣika said: "Sound is impermanent, Because it is produced by effort, Like lightning or a pot, unlike space." The property of being produced by effort is present in some similar instances such as a pot, and is absent in some similar instances such as lightning; it is absent in dissimilar instances such as space. Valid. (From Kuijiʼs explanatory notes to the Hetucakra). [Charles Muller; source(s): BFL]
