→परिचयः॥ Introduction: added table for Wrong Notions
; 16. '''निग्रहस्थानम् ॥ Nigrahasthana (Points of opponent's defeat)''' : Nigrahastana is when there is Misapprehension and Incomprehension. Misapprehension is that comprehension which is either wrong or reprehensible. Incomprehension is when a person does not say anything in the instance where it is required of him to say so. Both these leads a man to defeat.

== पदार्थज्ञानाप्रयोजनम् ॥ Padartha Jnana Prayojana ==
The Nyaya shastra explicitly dealing with the process of Reasoning, Means of right cognition and other Padarthas (categories) is the lamp for all tattva shastras; the Means (of Knowledge) of all things is the very basis of all activities of the universe and hence expounded at the very outset of investigative procedures. The very first Nyaya sutra expounds that the attainment of [[Nihshreyasa (निःश्रेयसम्)|Nihshreyasa]] is the goal of the knowledge of Padarthas. Now does Nihshreyasa or the Highest Good appear immediately after gaining "true knowledge" or padartha jnana? to which the following sutra answers, that after gaining padartha jnana<blockquote>दुःखजन्मप्रवृत्तिदोषमिथ्याज्ञानानां उत्तरोत्तरापाये तदनन्तरा पायातपवर्गः।।२।। {पदार्थोद्देशसूत्रम्} (Nyaya. Sutr. 1.1.2)<ref name=":4" /></blockquote>There is cessation of each of the following series, the cessation of that which follows bringing about the annihilation of that which precedes it and ultimately leads to Nihshreyasa or the Ultimate Good of the being (PDF Page number 31 of Reference <ref name=":6" />)
* दुःख ॥ Pain
* जन्म ॥ Birth
* प्रवृत्तिः ॥ Activity
