Elaboration—The process of studying the required parameters in order to understand a thing is called anugam. With the help of this systematic study (anugam) the proper meaning of an aphorism can be explained. Here nine kinds of anugam are listed
(1) Satpad-prarupana-to contemplate over the existence and non-existence of the thing represented by the word under consideration. For example substances like anupurvi include only things that exist and not those that do not exist. Such exposition of words is called Satpad-prarupana (exposition of words for existent things). (aphorism 106)
(2) Dravya-pramana-to study the numerical measure of things under consideration is called Dravya-pramana (numerical measure). (aphorism 107)
(3) Kshetra-to study the base area where the thing under consideration is located is called kshetra (area of location). (aphorism 108)
(4) Sparshana-to study area in contact with the thing under consideration is called sparshana (area of contact). (aphorism 109)
Difference between kshetra and sparshana-kshetra indicates the base area where a thing stands or is located whereas sparshana indicates the area of tactile contact in all directions in space occupied by a thing. (refer to elaboration of aphorism 109 for more details).
(5) Kaal—to determine the period of existence of the thing under consideration is called kaal (duration of existence or lifespan).
(6) Antar-to determine the intervening period between termination of the present form and once again regaining the same form (intervening period).
(7) Bhaag—to determine the proportion of spatial occupancy is called bhaag (spatial proportion). आनुपूर्वी प्रकरण
