Select the set correctly matched in order of the denial of Sabdapramāṇa :

  • A.Cārvāka, Bauddha, Vaiśeṣika
  • B.Bauddha, Vaiśeṣika, Samkhya
  • C.Nyāya, Vaisesika, Advaita Vedānta
  • D.Bauddha, Nyāya, Vaiśeṣika

Answer: A

The correct set of schools that deny sabda as a separate means of knowledge is Carvaka, Bauddha and Vaisesika, so the answer is A.

The Carvaka accepts perception alone. The Buddhist logicians accept perception and inference and treat verbal testimony as a kind of inference, and the Vaisesika likewise includes testimony in inference. None of them admits sabda as an independent pramana.

The Samkhya (B) and the Nyaya and Advaita Vedanta (C) all accept sabda, as does option D through the Nyaya, so each of those sets contains a school that does not deny it.
