(-maḥ-mā) (In the Nyāya philosophy.) The sophism of the impossibility of origin or birth; viz. arguing that a thing cannot take origin, because a thing exists in consequence of an immaterial cause; as the latter, however, does not exist before the material cause and the instance proving the existence of such material cause, and as the material cause again depends upon what exists, and the instance upon the material cause, the thing itself can never come into existence: or origin in general is impossible. E. anutpatti and sama. (With respect to the gender of this word and the ellipsis required to explain it, see the E. of anityasama.)
[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
