A couple of months back an impressive discussion on Attantya Abhava was held on this site,
based on my query. I felt enriched . However, the issue of Attantya Abhava had been bothering
me still, as a result of which I made some further readings. I found Annambhatta' Text 'Tarka-
Samgraha' the sole exception. It is the only text I came across ( not even Bhatta's SlokaBartick)
which takes' BHUTALE GHATO NASTI'( i.e the pot is not in this plane) as an instance of Attantya-
Abhava.
According to it, the pot bears a space -time relation with the plane ( Kaal Desh
Bishistha Sambandha Swarup).It is something like this- At time t the pot was not on the plane.
the pot was placed on the plane at time t1. The time t when the pot was not on the plane , would
never come back to existence at point of time in past ,present future. It gets lost into a
multi-spatial absence.This absence is Trikaal-Abadhita.
