⁷ Cp. P.M., S. i. 2. 19, 22, 23, 29; iii. 1. 2-3; iii. 2-1, where the words *pūrva* and *śeṣa* occur as referring to the logically prior and posterior parts of a sentence or a paragraph, and are sometimes used to refer to *vidhi* and *arthavāda*. *Pūrva* is the principal or the primary, and *śeṣa* is the secondary. Evidently in the P.M. an argument from *śeṣa* would be one from the subsidiary to the principal. Perhaps the Nyāya interpreted the relation of principal and secondary as one of cause and effect. See Professor Dhruva's article on " *Trividham Anumānam* " in the *Proceedings of the Oriental Conference*, Poona, p. 265.
