Ms.8.332. -9 (In Nyāya) Statement of the constant and invariable concomitance of the हेतु (middle term) and the साध्य (major term) of an Indian syllogism (हेतुसाध्ययोर्व्याप्तिरन्वयः). In the familiar instance पर्वतो वह्निमान् धूमवत्त्वात् the relation यत्र यत्र धूमस्तत्र तत्र वह्निः (wherever there is smoke there is fire) is called अन्वय or अन्वयव्याप्ति. अन्वय, in fact, corresponds to the universal A proposition of European logic 'All A is B.' The 'व्यतिरेकव्याप्ति' means an assertion of the concomitance of the absence of साध्य and the absence of हेतु (तदभावयोः हेत्वभावसाध्याभावयोः व्याप्तिः) and corresponds to the converted A proposition 'All not-B is not-A'; or in Sanskrit यत्र यत्र वह्निर्नास्ति तत्र तत्र धूमो$पि नास्ति; and a cause or हेतु is said to be connected with its effect by अन्वयव्यतिरेकव्याप्ति when both the affirmative and negative relations between the thing to be proved and the cause that proves can be equally asserted; such a Hetu alone makes the argument perfectly sound and incapable of refutation.

From the literal translation (‘after-story’) the meaning of ‘ supplementary narrative ’ seems to follow. In two of its three occurrences in the śatapatha Brāhmana this sense is hardly felt, the expression being used to indicate a subsequent portion of the book itself. But in the third passage it is distinguished from the Itihāsa (‘ story ’) proper, and there must mean ‘ supplementary narrative.’ Cf Anuvyākhyāna.
Bow,’ is found frequently in the Rigveda and later. It also occurs in the compounds isu-dhaηva, ‘ bow and arrow,’ ājya-dhaηva, ‘ having clarified butter for its bow,’ adhijya-dhaηva, ‘ bow with string fixed,’ etc. Cf. Dhanus.
Desert,’ is repeatedly mentioned in the Rigveda and later. Death from thirst in the desert was not rare, and the value of a spring in the desert was fully appreciated. The great desert east of the Sindhu (Indus) and the Sutudrī (Sutlej) is possibly referred to in one hymn of the Rigveda.
