Anumana Or Inference

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.
