Explanation

The members line up as application, conclusion, example and proposition with their matching statements.

Upanaya is the application step, "Socrates is a man who is invariably mortal", bringing the case under the rule.

Nigamana is the final conclusion, "Therefore Socrates is mortal".

Udaharana states the universal rule with an instance, "Whoever is a man is mortal, like Pythagoras".

Pratijna is the initial thesis to be proved, "Socrates is mortal".

So application pairs with the invariable-man line, conclusion with the therefore-line, example with the universal, proposition with the bare thesis.
