(-ntaḥ) 1) A false conclusion; e. g. mūrtatvādghaṭādivatsamānadharmāpattāvapasiddhāntaḥ ‘(to say that the Soul is limited) is a false conclusion, for this would lead to assert that, from its having shape, it shares in the properties of material substances (as in those of perishableness &c.)’; or ānandābhivyaktirmukhyamokṣa iti navīnavedāntināmapasiddhānta eveti dhik ‘to maintain that manifestation of happiness is real liberation is a wrong conclusion of the modern Vedāntists: shame (on such twaddle)’.
2) (In the Nyāya philosophy.) Logical inconsistency in argumentation, viz. arguing so as to come in contradiction with the tenets of one’s own school; one of the twenty two nigrahasthāna or failures in discussion which lead to the defeat of the disputant; more especially it is thus defined: siddhāntamabhyupetyāniyamātkathāprasaṅgopasiddhāntaḥ ‘apasiddhānta is argumentation without regard to the definitions contained in the tenets of a school which one has adopted as his own’.— The commentator adds however that there is no apasiddhānta or inconsistency of this kind, if one differs merely in a special topic from the authority of his school: yastvekadeśimatena kathāmārabhate tasya śāstrakārābhyupagamavirodhe nāpasiddhāntaḥ; ‘the Saugatas’, he says, ‘do not consider logical inconsistency as a defect, but that is another question’ (saugatāstvapasiddhāntaṃ dūṣaṇaṃ na manyanta ityanyadetat). E. apa and siddhānta.
