In the familiar instance parvato vahnimAn DUmavattvAt the relation yatra yatra DUmastatra tatra vahniH (wherever there is smoke there is fire) is called anvaya or anvayavyApti, anvaya , in fact, corresponds to the universal A proposition of European logic ‘All A is B.’ The ‘vyatirekavyApti’ means an assertion of the concomitance of the absence of sADya and the absence of hetu ( tadaBAvayoH hetvaBAvasADyABAvayoH vyAptiH ) and corresponds to the converted A proposition ‘All notB is not-A’; or in Sanskrit yatra yatra vahnirnAsti tatra tatra DUmopi nAsti ; and a cause or hetu is said to be connected with its effect by anvayavyatirekavyApti 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. This process of arriving at the Vyāpti or universal proposition corresponds to the methods of Agreement and Difference in Mill's Logic; sADye niScitamanvayena GawitaM Mu. 5. 10.
