Goldstucker
English
अन्यलक्षणोपपत्ति Tatpur. f. (-त्तिः) The taking place (of some-
thing) in consequence of the symptom i. e. the existence (of
something else) being found somewhere else
in a Nyāya
Sūtra, where the possibility of non-existence is argued from
the circumstance that the existence of the counter-entity
might be elsewhere: असत्यर्थे नाभाव इति चेन्नान्यलक्षणोपपत्तेः
‘if (you say that there is) no non-existence since the thing
is not, it is not so, for (non-existence) might be, since (the
counter-entity) might exist elsewhere’. E. अन्य (in the sense
of a locative) -लक्षण (of an instrum.) and उपपत्ति.
