Senses:

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