Match the following and select the correct code :
| I | II |
|---|---|
| (i) Perception can perceive only its own object and not the object of Inference | (a) Pramāṇa - Samplava |
| (ii) The object of knowledge can be cognized through perception, inference, verbal testimony, comparison and the like | (b) Svalakṣaṇa |
| (iii) The object of perception as per Pramāṇa Vyavasthā is | (c) Pramāṇa - vyavasthā |
| (iv) The object of inference as per Pramāṇa Vyavasthā is | (d) Sāmānya lakṣaṇa |
Answer: C
The match is i-c, ii-a, iii-b, iv-d.
The Buddhist logicians hold pramāṇa-vyavasthā: each means of knowledge has its own exclusive object, so perception cannot grasp the object of inference (i-c). Their object of perception is the unique particular, svalakṣaṇa (iii-b), and their object of inference is the universal, sāmānya-lakṣaṇa (iv-d).
Nyāya opposes this with pramāṇa-saṃplava, the view that one object can be known by perception, inference, testimony and comparison alike (ii-a).
