Padārtha (पदार्थ).—A padārtha is what is knowable and nameable—i.e., the ultimate of intellectual analysis. Padārtha has its nearest equivalent in English in ‘Category’. The categories are the objects of right knowledge. This means that right knowledge fulfils its function in comprehending these categories.Source: Wikipedia: Vaisheshika
Vaiśeṣika: According to the Vaisheshika school, all things which exist, which can be cognised, and which can be named are padārthas (literal meaning: the meaning of a word), the objects of experience.
All objects of experience can be classified into six categories,
- dravya (substance),
- guṇa (quality),
- karma (activity),
- sāmānya (generality),
- viśeṣa (particularity)
- and samavāya (inherence).
Later Vaiśeṣikas (Śrīdhara and Udayana and Śivāditya) added one more category abhava (non-existence).Source: Shodhganga: A study of Nyāya-vaiśeṣika categories (vaisesika)
Padārtha (पदार्थ, “categories”).—According to Kaṇāda, all object of knowledge or all real comes under padārtha. He mentions in his Vaiśeṣikasūtra only six categories. These are:
- dravya (substance),
- guṇa (quality),
- karma (action),
- sāmānya (generality),
- viśeṣa (particularity),
- samavāya (inherence).
Kaṇāda does not mention abhāva (negation) as a separate category (padārtha), but later Vaiśeṣikas recognize abhāva as the seventh category. Śrīdhara, in his Nyāyakaṇḍalī, clarifies this point by saying that Kaṇāda did not mention abhāva separately because abhāva depends on bhāva(existence). That means non-existence depends on existence for its knowledge and therefore, there is no need to state abhāva separately. But the later Nyāyavaiśeṣika writers adopt the seven categories of the Vaiśeṣikas.
Now though these seven categories (padārtha) are accepted by the Vaiśeṣikas, these are also in accord with the postulation of the Naiyāyikas. This is established from the commentary of Vātsyāyana. Viśvanāth Nyāyapañcānana also mentions this. Vātsyāyana speaks of the Vaiśeṣika categories in reference to prameyas.

Padārtha (पदार्थ).—The Nyāya metaphysics recognizes sixteen padarthas or categories and includes all six (or seven) categories of the Vaiśeṣika in the second one of them, called prameya.
These sixteen categories are
- pramāṇa (valid means of knowledge),
- prameya (objects of valid knowledge),
- saṃśaya (doubt),
- prayojana (aim),
- dṛṣṭānta (example),
- siddhānta (conclusion),
- avayava (members of syllogism),
- tarka (hypothetical reasoning),
- nirṇaya (settlement),
- vāda (discussion),
- jalpa (wrangling),
- vitaṇḍā (cavilling),
- hetvābhāsa (fallacy),
- chala (quibbling),
- jāti (sophisticated refutation)
- and nigrahasthāna (point of defeat).

Padārtha (पदार्थ, “categories”).—Literally, the term padārtha means the meaning of a word (padasya arthaḥ) or an object signified by a word. Padārtha is that which is an object of cognition and which can be named (abhidheya). It means all objects of experience. According to the Annaṃbhaṭṭa, all things of the world and their relationship with one another come under the seven independent categories.
Gautama (in his fundamental work of Nyāya philosophy) enumerates sixteen padārthas. These are:
- pramāṇa (means of valid knowledge),
- prameya (the object of valid knowledge),
- saṃśaya (doubt),
- prayojana (purpose or aim),
- dṛṣṭānta (example),
- siddhānta (doctrine),
- avayava (members of a syllogism),
- tarka (confutation),
- nirṇaya (ascertainment),
- vāda (discussion),
- jalpa (wrangling),
- vitaṇḍā (cavil),
- hetvābhāsa (fallacy),
- chala (quibble),
- jāti (futility),
- nigrahasthāna (ground of defeat).
The later commentators accept these sixteen categories (padārtha) in their works and explain them accordingly. Vātsyāyana in his Nyāyabhāṣya has justified the gradual order of these categories enumerated by Gautama. Viśvanātha also supports this in his Nyāyasūtravṛtti. Vidyabhusana points out, “The categories are, according to the commentaries on the Nyāyasūtra, supposed to represent stages in the course of a debate between a disputant and his respondent”.context information
Nyaya (न्याय, nyaya) refers to a school of Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. The Nyaya philosophy is known for its theories on logic, methodology and epistemology, however, it is closely related with Vaisheshika in terms of metaphysics.

Padārtha (पदार्थ).—Meaning of a word, signification of a word; that which corresponds to the meaning of a word; sense of a word. Grammarians look upon both-the generic notion and the individual object as Padārtha or meaning of a word, and support their view by quoting the sūtras of Pāṇini जात्याख्यायामेकस्मिन् बहुवचनमन्यतरस्याम् (jātyākhyāyāmekasmin bahuvacanamanyatarasyām) I. 2.58 and सरूपाणामेकशेष एकविभक्तौ (sarūpāṇāmekaśeṣa ekavibhaktau) I. 2.64; cf. किं पुनराकृतिः पदार्थ आहोस्विद् द्रव्यम् । उभयमित्याह । कथं ज्ञायते । उभयथा ह्याचार्येण सूत्राणि प्रणीतानि । आकृतिं पदार्थे मत्वा जात्याख्यायामित्युच्यते (kiṃ punarākṛtiḥ padārtha āhosvid dravyam | ubhayamityāha | kathaṃ jñāyate | ubhayathā hyācāryeṇa sūtrāṇi praṇītāni | ākṛtiṃ padārthe matvā jātyākhyāyāmityucyate) | द्रव्यं पदार्थे मत्वा सरूपाणामित्येकशेष आरभ्यते (dravyaṃ padārthe matvā sarūpāṇāmityekaśeṣa ārabhyate), M. Bh. in I. 1. first Āhnika. In rules of grammar the meaning of a word is generally the vocal element or the wording, as the science of grammar deals with words and their formation; cf. स्वं रूपं शब्दस्याशब्द-संज्ञा (svaṃ rūpaṃ śabdasyāśabda-saṃjñā), P. I. 1. 68. The possession of vocal element as the sense is technically termed शब्दपदार्थकता (śabdapadārthakatā) as opposed to अर्थपदार्थकता (arthapadārthakatā); cf. सोसौ गोशब्दः स्वस्मात्पदार्थात् प्रच्युतो यासौ अर्थपदा-र्थकता तस्याः शब्दपदार्थकः संपद्यते (sosau gośabdaḥ svasmātpadārthāt pracyuto yāsau arthapadā-rthakatā tasyāḥ śabdapadārthakaḥ saṃpadyate) M. Bh. I. 1.44 V. 3. The word पदार्थ (padārtha) means also the categories or the predicaments in connection with the different Śāstrās or lores as for instance, the 25 categories in the Sāmkhyaśāstra or 7 in the Vaiśeșika system or 16 in the NyayaŚāstra. The Vyākaranaśāstra, in this way to state, has only one category the Akhandavākyasphota or the radical meaning given by the sentence in one stroke.context information
