The Sacred Books of the Jainas: “Akiñchitkara Hetvābhāsa is the fallacy of redundancy. This is also of two kinds.
(a) The Siddhasādhana which means the establishing of that which has already been proved by some other kind of Pramāṇa. Illustration : Sound is heard by the ear, because it is sound.
(b) The Vādhita vişaya which relates to a proposition inconsistent with Pratyakşa (direct observation or jñāna ), logical inference, scriptural text or its own sense. Illustrations : (i) Fire is not endowed with warmth, because it is a substance (inconsistent with Pratyakşa). (ii) Sound is unchanging, because it is not an effect ( inconsistent with Anumāna ). (iii) Dharma (virtue or righteousness ) is the cause of pain, because it resides in man ( inconsistent with scripture according to which Dharma is the cause of happiness ). (iv) Z is the son of a barren woman because she has never conceived (inconsistent with the proposition itself)”.?
