Apramā (अप्रमा) bezieht sich laut Annaṃbhaṭṭa in der  Tarkasaṃgraha auf „ungültiges Wissen“. – Annaṃbhaṭṭa definiert ─apramā─ als jene Auffassung von Dingen, die jene Eigenschaft besitzen, die dort nicht existiert. Das heißt, ungültiges Wissen ist das, was seinem Gegenstand nicht entspricht, zum Beispiel das Wissen über Silber in einer Muschelschale. Es gibt drei Arten von nicht gültiger Befürchtung, nämlich saṃśaya (Zweifel), viparyaya (Irrtum) und tarka (hypothetisches Argument). Kontextinformationen

Nyaya (न्याय, nyaya) refers to a school of Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. The Nyaya philosophy is known for its theories on logic, methodology and epistemology, however, it is closely related with Vaisheshika in terms of metaphysics.
