In Hinduism
Nyaya (school of philosophy)
Source: Shodhganga: A study of Nyāya-vaiśeṣika categoriesViśeṣaṇaviśeṣyabhāva (विशेषणविशेष्यभाव) refers to “the connection of the attribute with the substantive” and represents one of the six divisions of Sannikarṣa (“sense object contact”), according to the 17th century Tarkasaṃgraha. The ordinary perception (laukika), one of the two types of pratyakṣa (perception), is caused by ordinary sannikarṣa or sense object contact. The connection of the qualifier and the qualified (viśeṣaṇa-viśeṣyabhāva) is the conjunction in the perception of negation, as in the cognition. This spot of earth is with the negation of jar. Here, the negation of a jar is an attribute of a place in contact with the eye.
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.

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.
