366.27
kāryaṃ dṛṣṭvā vinā nasyādarthāpattiḥ parārthadhīḥ /
pratiyoginyāgṛhīte bhuvi nāstītyabhāvakaḥ /
ityādināmaliṅgo hi harirukto nṛbuddhaye //
Seeing an effect that could not be without [another fact] is postulation (*arthāpatti*), the cognition of that other thing. / When a counter-correlate is grasped, [the cognition] that it is not on the ground is non-existence (*abhāva*). / In this manner, Hari is spoken of by the genders of nominal words for the understanding of men.
