== Translation/Explanation ==

=== Hindi ===
यदि कोई कारण (हेतु) उस वस्तु के समान हो जाए जिसे सिद्ध करना है (साध्य), तो वह कारण नहीं माना जाता, अर्थात् वह अहेतु कहलाता है। यह न्यायशास्त्र में हेत्वाभास की एक विशेषता है, जहाँ साध्य और हेतु में भेद न होने पर तर्क असंगत हो जाता है।

=== English ===
If a reason (hetu) is identical with the probandum (sādhya), it is not considered a valid reason; it is termed a non-reason (ahetu). This is a characteristic of fallacious reasoning (hetvābhāsa) in Nyāya, where the lack of distinction between the reason and what is to be established renders the argument invalid.
