[INDOLOGY] Translations of Nyay terminologies.

[Dominik Wujastyk]

There are libraries written about all of these key terms, of course.  One
foundational article on the first two terms is,

   - Cardona, G. (1967–1968). ‘*Anvaya* and *Vyatireka *in Indian Grammar’, *
   Adyar Library Bulletin,* 31–32: 313–52.

Another indispensable publication in this overall context is,

   - Prets, E., & Prandstetter, J. (1991–2006). *Terminologie der frühen
   philosophischen Scholastik in Indien: Ein Begriffswörterbuch zur
   altinidischen Dialektik, Erkenntnislehre und Metholologie*. (G.
   Oberhammer, Ed.) Österreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften,
   Philosoophisch-Historische Klasse, Denkschriften. Wien: Verlag der
   Österreicheischen Akademie der Wissenschaften. 3v.

Best,
