anumana
is method of gaining inferencial knowledge, based on keen observation and
logical thinking. It is the ancient research methodology explained through this
topic. To check the reliability of the knowledge obtained, the hetu has to be
evaluated. Hetu can be sadhetu, asad hetu or hetvabhasa. Sadhetu gives true
knowledge. Hetvabhasa appears as a good hetu but gives false information. There
are six types of hetvabhasa which should be ruled out by every seeker. When
anumana is for oneself, it is called svarthanumana, if it is to be conveyed to
others it is pararthanumana. For this panchavayava vakya is used, showing a
systematic way of scientific presentation.
