[Advaita-l] Basic concepts of anumAna-pramANa

[Raghav Kumar Dwivedula]

Namaste Sudhanshu ji
Thank you for your article on anumAna pramANa.

Regarding
"How isn’t there an ativyApti of the definition of anumiti-pramA in
vyApti-jnAna-anuvavasAya?"
We deal with the objection by saying that there is a different avacchedakA
in the example of generation of anuvyavasAya jnAnam from jnAna-1 viz.,
viShayatva rather than jnAnatva. So there is no ativyApti in defining
anumiti pramA as vyApti-jnAnatvena vyApti jnAna-janyA

Now, to avoid ativyApti in the other cases viz., of quantum-physics-jnAnam
being jnAnatveNa-jnAna-janyA from mathematics-jnAnaM, can we say, the
avacchedaka is different and there is quantum-physics-jnAnaM is
maths-jnAna-upAdAna-jnAnatvena-jnAna-janyam.

This is seen in other such such layered knowledge systems like knowledge of
letters (varNas) is causative w.r.t. grammar, sentences and language
(vyAkaraNa etc).

So there too, the avacchedaka differed in not being vyApti-jnAnatvAm but
something else?

Om
