3. Not that which is inferred, on account of the absence of terms denoting it, and (so also not) the bearer of the Pranas (i. e. the individual soul).
As the section under discussion does not treat of the Pradhana, there being no terms referring to that, so it is with regard to the individual soul also. In the text of the Sutra we have to read either anumanam, i. e. 'inference,' in the sense of 'object of inference,' or else anumanam, 'object of inference'; what is meant being in both cases the Pradhana inferred to exist by the Sankhyas.
