Source: Shodhganga: A study of Nyāya-vaiśeṣika categoriesVṛttiniyāmaka (वृत्तिनियामक, “relation”) refers to “occurrence-exacting relations” and represents one of the two types of relations (sambandha) according to the Tarkasaṃgraha.—Broadly relation (sambandha) can be divided into two types, viz.,–vṛttiniyāmaka (occurrence-exacting) and vṛttyaniyāmaka (non-occurrence-exacting). Those relations which have roughly the notion that something occurs in something else is called Vṛttiniyāmaka relation.
Vṛttiniyāmaka is also of three kinds–
- (i) saṃyoga (conjunction),
- (ii) samavāya (inherence),
- (iii) viśeṣaṇatā (attributive).
Viśeṣaṇatā is again subdivided into abhāviya-viśeṣaṇatā or relation pertaining to the non-existence and kālika-viśeṣaṇatā or relation of temporal qualification.
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.
