Talk:Vyabhicara
From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia
vyabhicāra (‘transgression’) In general it means an evil act and in particular, adultery. The dharmaśāstras prescribe various kinds of punishment like amputation or even death. In logic it means a fallacy. If an effect is denied even though the cause exists, or, if an effect is accepted to exist in spite of the fact that the cause does not, it becomes the fallacy of vyabhicāra.
