If the sentence from which the 'Shaabd' evidence arose in the 8th verse is described as 'Shastra' in the next verse, then this also does not work; because the nature of the sentence has already been given in the 8th verse itself by the adjectives 'Drishteshtavyahat' etc., and that nature is almost similar to the nature of the Shastra given in the next verse - its 'Drishteshtavyahat' is similar to 'Adrishteshtavirodhak' and it also includes the adjectives 'Anullangya' and 'Aptopanya', the adjective 'Paramarthaabhidhay' is indicative of the meaning of 'Kapathghattan' and 'Sarv' adjectives, and the 'Shaabdpraman' 'Tattvagrahityotpanna' statement clearly indicates that the sentence is considered 'Tattvopadeshakrit' - in this way, a lot of similarity is found between the two verses. In such a situation, there is no reason for the author to repeat the same thing unnecessarily, especially in a text that is written in carefully chosen words in the form of sutras. Fifth, the author himself has described the sentence as 'Pararthanuman' in the next verse by way of treatment; as
Svanishchayavadanyesham nishchayotpadanam budhai:
Parartham manamaakhyatam vakyam tadupacaratha: || 10 ||
From the collection of all these things or reasons, it is clear that the position of the verse called 'Aptopanya' in 'Nyayaavataar' is very doubtful, it does not seem to be the verse of the original author, its position in the middle of the subsequent verses becomes unnecessary before accepting it as an essential part of the text written by the original author, the style of presentation of the text also does not accept it,
