Parikṣāmukham
son ( Hetvābhāsa ) arises from non-conception, doubt or misconception about it ( the middle term ) "1.

Siddhasena lays down that there are only three (and not four as mentioned in Parikṣamukham) varieties of Hetvābhāsa: That which has not yet been established is called 'the unproved' (Asiddha); that which is possible only in the opposite way is called 'the inconsistent ' ( Viruddha ) ; that which can be explained in one way as well as in the opposite way is called 'the uncertain' (Anaikantika )"2
Hemachandra also in his Framaņa-mimāsā lays down that there are only three kinds of Hetvābhāsa viz. Asiddha, Viruddha and Anaikantika". He rejects the view of those who maintain that there are two other forms of Hetvabhāsa viz. Kālātīta and Prakaraṇa-sama. According to Hemachandra, Kālātita is included within the fallacy of Pakṣa and Prakaraṇa-sama is an impossibility as none but a madman can use it. In arguments between sane men this is an impossibility1.
