Illustration: mountainless plain (ri med pa'i thang)English for Divisions?? {T} too many to fit {PH}Comment: The division of negatives, or negations, into affirming and non-affirming, or implicative and non-implicative, is traced to MimAMsA injunctions to refrain from activities that either imply another activity in its place or not. For example, a "mountainless plain" is an affirming negative that explicitly suggests or indicates a positive phenomenon (a plain) in place of its object of negation (mountains). Another type of affirming negative is one that by context suggests a positive phenomenon in place of its object of negation; for instance, being told that ShAkyamuni was either a brahmin or kSatriya (member of the royal or warrior class) and was not a brahmin suggests, by context, that he was of the royal caste. A positive phenomenon — being a kSatriya — is suggested in place of the object of negation — being a brahmin — in this context. See also "non-affirming negation" (med dgag).
