Correct answer: C. Upamana (comparison)उपमान (Comparison)
Explanation
Upamana (comparison) is the pramana that yields knowledge of the relation between a name and the object it denotes, and it arises from the perception of similarity — the classic example being a person who learns that a 'gavaya' is the animal resembling a cow. Pratyaksa is direct perception, anumana is inference and sabda is verbal testimony.उपमान वह प्रमाण है जो किसी नाम और उसके वाच्य पदार्थ के बीच संबंध का ज्ञान कराता है और यह सादृश्य के प्रत्यक्ष से उत्पन्न होता है — प्रसिद्ध उदाहरण यह है कि व्यक्ति जान लेता है कि 'गवय' गाय के समान दिखने वाला पशु है। प्रत्यक्ष इंद्रिय-जन्य ज्ञान है, अनुमान व्याप्ति पर आधारित है तथा शब्द आप्त-वचन है।More Logical Reasoning questions
