[Advaita-l] pratiyogI-jnAna being mandatory for abhAva-jnAna

[Sudhanshu Shekhar]

Hari Om,

It is accepted in advaita-vedAnta that prior pratiyogI-jnAna is a
prerequisite for abhAva-jnAna. Unless and until one has x-jnAna, one cannot
have x-abhAva-jnAna.

My question is -- is there any branch of Indian Philosophy, dvaita,
vishishTAdvaita, nyAya etc who dispute this premise and hold that one can
have abhAva-jnAna without pratiyogI-jnAna.

Learned members may please guide.

Regards.
Sudhanshu Shekhar.
