Source: archive.org: Anekanta Jaya Pataka of Haribhadra SuriViruddhahetu (विरुद्धहेतु) refers to one of the three fallacies of a hetu, as occurring in the Anekāntajayapatākā-prakaraṇa, a Śvetāmbara Jain philosophical work written by Haribhadra Sūri.—[Cf. Vol. II, P. 56, l. 4]—Fallacies of a hetu are of three kinds asiddha (unproved), viruddha (contradictory) and anaikāntika (inconclusive). Of them the asiddhahetu is one the existence of which is not ascertained. Viruddhahetu is inseparably connected with the antithesis of sādhya (what is to be proved). Anaikāntikahetu is found in pakṣa, sapakṣa and vipakṣa. For details see “Notes” (pp 135-136) on Nyāyakusumāñjali.
