Bh. on II.3.1 where Kaiyata however, explains the word differently. Kaiyata states that न्याय्य (nyāyya) means a general rule; cf.उत्सर्गः पूर्वाचार्यप्रसिद्ध्या न्याय्य उच्यते (utsargaḥ pūrvācāryaprasiddhyā nyāyya ucyate) Kaiyata on P. II. 3.1. By Pūrvācārya he possibly refers to the writers of the Prātiśākhyas and other similar works by ancient grammarians, where the word nyāya is used in the sense of 'a general rule '.
