Identify the correct pairs :
(i) Nyāya-Parataḥprāmaṇyavāda
(ii) Buddhists-Svataḥprāmāṇyavāda
(iii) Mīmāṁsā-Parataḥprāmāṇyavāda
(iv) Sāṁkhya-Svataḥprāmānyavāda
Options :
Answer: C
The correct pairs are (i) and (iv).
(i) Nyāya holds extrinsic validity (parataḥ prāmāṇya): the validity of a cognition is established by an external test. (iv) Sāṁkhya holds that both validity and invalidity are intrinsic, so it is a svataḥ prāmāṇya view.
(ii) is wrong: the Buddhists hold intrinsic invalidity and extrinsic validity. (iii) is wrong: Mīmāṁsā is the chief defender of intrinsic validity, with only invalidity known extrinsically. So the options containing (ii) or (iii) fail.
