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").
