present state. For this inherent simplicity it is called Rijusutra (riju being minute or small)
(5) Shabda naya (verbal viewpoint or that related to language and grammar) is not much concerned with the meaning of a word but the message it conveys It accepts variance in meaning based on grammatical attributes like gender, tense, number etc.
(6) Samabhirudha naya (conventional etymological viewpoint)—The standpoint that examines different etymological meanings of synonyms even. For example Indra, Shakra and Purandar being names of the king of gods are synonymous but there etymological meaning are different. Indra is one who has grandeur, Shakra is one who has power and Purandar is one who destroys cities
(7) Evambhuta naya (viewpoint of exactness or that related to words used in original derivative sense and significance)—The standpoint that calls for use of right word for right action and not otherwise For example the term Indra should be used only when the context is of grandeur and not when he is worshipping
In these aphorisms naya pramana (standard of validation of viewpoints) has been explained with the help of three examples or illustrations. Prasthak was the name given to a wooden measuring pot used as a measure for cereals in the Magadh country during that period. Consider a person going into a forest to fetch wood for making a prasthak On the way someone asks-“Where do you go ?" He replies"I am going for a prasthak.” His answer is correct from avishuddha Naigam naya (the ambiguous co-ordinated viewpoint). Wood is cause and prasthak is effect. To install effect on cause is the subject of Naigam naya (co-ordinated viewpoint)
Putting the same question while he is cutting a tree, his answer is"I cut a prasthak (wooden measuring pot)” This is an example of vishuddha Naigam naya (the unambiguous or clear co-ordinated viewpoint) As compared to the earlier stage, he is nearer to the final act of producing a prasthak. Then while chiseling, his answer is—"I chisel a prasthak (wooden measuring pot)," conforms to vishuddhatar Naigam naya (clearer co-ordinated viewpoint)
Vyavahar naya (particularized viewpoint) is like Naigam naya (co-ordinated viewpoint) only. But according to Samgraha naya सचित्र अनुयोगद्वार सूत्र-२
