2 DEC FS Q.3

0. The distinction between Savikalpaka (determinate) and Nirvikalpaka (indeterminate) is made with respect to which of the following pramanas'?

  • Option : B
  • Explanation : In the Nyaya system, nirvikalpa pratyaksha is a term used by some authors to simply mean indeterminate ornehulous perception. As such, it refers to a state of cognition when one sees an object and doesn't quite grasp what it is. This is not granted the same validity as the savikalpa pratyaksha where an object presented to the senses is known fully.
