Kṣīranīranyāya (क्षीरनीरन्याय) refers to an “apposite illustration of milk and water”, as occurring in the Anekāntajayapatākā-prakaraṇa, a Śvetāmbara Jain philosophical work written by Haribhadra Sūri.—[Cf. Vol. II, P. 8, l. 25]—‘Kṣīranīranyāya’ is an apposite illustration of milk and water. It is used to point out the most intimate union of two or more things, The oldest example known to me, is in Mahābhāṣya (p. 208) on 1.2.32. [...] Writers on rhetorics employ this nyāya to exemplify the figure called saṅkara (commixture) in which there is a combination of other things. It differs from saṃsṛṣṭi (collocation) which is compared to the union between rice and sesamum, which is less intimate and easily distinguishable. There is a third kind of combination which is likened to that of man and lion. All these three kinds are noted in Kuvalayānanda (p. 337).
