(-maḥ-mā) (In the Nyāya philo-sophy.) A sophism on non-perception; viz. arguing: ‘because 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 attributed by the Nyāya e. g. to those who maintain the eternity 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. anupalabdhi and sama (m. scil. pratiṣedha or vikalpa or prayoga; f. scil. jāti; comp. for the meaning of these words the E. of anityasama).
[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
