Englishअप्राप्तिसम Tatpur. m. f. (-मः-मा) (In the Nyāya philosophy.)
One of the two sophisms on the irrelevancy of the notion
‘cause’
viz. arguing that if a cause is stated the charac-
teristics of which cannot be proved--as by saying that
the Śyena sacrifice inflicts pain on enemies--, such charac-
teristics prevent a cause from proving the effect, i. e. from
being a valid cause
(‘यदि चाप्राप्तं लिङ्गं साध्यबुद्धिं जनयति
साध्याभावबुद्धिमेव किं तेन न जनयेत्’)
the refutation is:
that such a cause is nevertheless valid, since it is an ideal
cause, mentioned in the Veda.--For the other sophism
on the irrelevancy of cause see प्राप्तिसम. E. अप्राप्ति and
सम. (For the gender of this word and the ellipsis required
to explain it, see the etym. of अनित्यसम.)
