The Sacred Books of the Jainas In this aphorism all the parts of the inference are given in detail showing Sādharmya and Vaidharmya. In subsequent aphorisms only the example in short will be given. It may be expanded like the present aphorism in all its parts.
Example of Kārya Hetu ( effect ):
___ अस्त्यत्र देहिनि बुद्धिाहारादेः ॥ ६६ ॥ 66. Astyatra dehini buddhirbyāhārādeḥ.
66. There is intelligence in this animal as it shows activities like speech etc.
Commentary The familiar example 'There is fire in this bill, because there is smoke on it is also an illustration of Kārya Hetu. Example of Kāraṇa Hetu ( cause ) :
37F79TT OTOT JATT II e II 67. Astyatra chhāyā chhatrāt. 67. There is shade here, as there is an umbrella.
Commentary Another example is this : “There will be rain, as potent rain-clouds are seen.”
Example of Puryachara ( antecedent ) Hetu :
___ उदेष्यति शकटं कृत्तिकोदयात् ॥ ६८ ॥ 68. Udesyati Sakatam krittikodayāt.
68. The Rohiņi ( constellation ) will appear ( after a muhūrta ) as the Krittikā ( constellation') has arisen.
Commentary There are twenty seven Nakşatras which rise one after the other. The first four are the Aśvini, the Bharaņi, the Krittikā and the Rohiņi. Now as the time of the Krittikā is going to pass, we infer that the Rohiņi will now arise. Similarly, we infer from the existence of the Krittikā, that the Bharaṇi had arisen before. This is an example of consequence which is mentioned in the next aphorism.
