Nyaya (school of philosophy)
Source: Shodhganga: A study of Nyāya-vaiśeṣika categoriesPrasāraṇa (प्रसारण) refers to one of the five kinds of Karma (action) in the Nyāya-Vaiśeṣika philosophy. According to Kaṇāda, karma (action) is of five kinds. According to Praśastapāda (Praśastapādabhāṣya), through which action, this conjunction becomes opposite conjunction and this disjunction becomes opposite disjunction and the avayavi becomes straight, that is known as prasāraṇa. According to Varadarāja (Tārkikarakṣā), the non-inherent cause of the conjunction with the space distant from the body (śarīra-viprakṛṣṭa) is called prasāraṇa. According to Annaṃbhaṭṭa (Tarkasaṃgraha), prasāraṇa is that action which causes the connection with the space farthest from the body.
Nyaya (न्याय, nyaya) refers to a school of Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. The Nyaya philosophy is known for its theories on logic, methodology and epistemology, however, it is closely related with Vaisheshika in terms of metaphysics.
