unitary whole and cannot be taken as composite of discrete parts. The part of a whole must itself be a whole. Abhayadevasūri, in his commentary on the Sanmatitarka prakarana of Siddhasen Divakar mentions a view which regarded the first, the second and the fourth propositions of the saptabhangi as sakalādesin (i.e. pramāņavākya) on account of their reference to the whole subject by virtue of the unitary character of their predicates, and the remaining four as vikalādesin (i.e. naya-vākya) on account of their reference to the individual aspects of the subject by virtue of the multiple character of their predicates. This is also untenable because of the unnecessary distinctions it makes between the identical subject of the seven propositions.
