अनुपलब्धिसम Tatpur. m. f. (-मः-मा) (In the Nyāya philo-
sophy.) A sophism on non-perception
viz. arguing: ‘be-
cause the non-perception of an object cannot be perceived,
therefore the non-perception of the object does not exist
and consequently the non-existence of the object cannot
exist i. e. the object itself must exist’. This sophism is at-
tributed by the Nyāya e. g. to those who maintain the eter-
nity of sound on the ground that ‘the non-perception of
sound antecedently to pronunciation’--the reason alleged
by the Nyāya for its non-eternity--may be refuted in
the manner explained. E. अनुपलब्धि and सम (m. scil.
प्रतिषेध or विकल्प or प्रयोग
f. scil. जाति
comp. for the
meaning of these words the E. of अनित्यसम).
