Discussion
Which of the following theories of prāmāṇya (Validity) accepted by Nyāya darṣan ?
Answer: C
Nyāya accepts Parataḥ-Prāmāṇya (extrinsic validity).
For Nyāya, a cognition does not carry its own validity. Whether it is valid is known from outside it, by a further test such as fruitful activity: seeing water, we go to it, and successful drinking confirms the perception. Invalidity is likewise known extrinsically, through failure.
Intrinsic validity (A), and intrinsic validity with extrinsic invalidity (D), are the Mīmāṁsā and Advaita view. Intrinsic invalidity (B) is the Buddhist position.
