    Question

    Which among the following is incorrect in the context of Anupalabdhi (non-existence)?

    A.

    “The jar will exist” represents Prāgabhāva.

    B.

    “The jar is not a cloth” represents Pradhvaṁsābhāva.

    C.

    “Air has no color” represents Atyantābhāva.

    D.

    “A is not B” represent Anyonyābhāva.

    Correct option is B

    "The jar is not a cloth"is an example ofAnyonyābhāva(mutual exclusion),not Pradhvaṃsābhāva(which refers to destruction).

    Information booster 

    In Nyaya philosophy, Anuplabdhi (non-existence)is classified into four types:

    1. Prāgabhāva (prior non-existence)– Absence before creation (e.g.,"The jar will exist"implies it did not exist before).

    2. Pradhvaṃsābhāva (post-destruction non-existence)– Absence after destruction (e.g.,"The jar no longer exists"after breaking).

    3. Atyantābhāva (absolute non-existence)– Eternal absence (e.g.,"Air has no color"– it can never have color).

    4. Anyonyābhāva (mutual non-existence)– Difference between two things (e.g.,"A is not B").
