Paroksha Pramana is five-fold: (1) Smriti, (2) Pratyabhijnana, (3) Tarka, ( 4 ) Anumana and ( 5 ) Agama. The first has an experienced thing as an object and it arises through the awakening of impressions (present consciousness of the past ideas ), whereas the second deals with oneness between different objects, etc. and it arises through recollection and perception. ( 3 )
Notes:-Paroksha-jnana is the knowledge that is indirectly obtained by the soul, through some other medium like the senses and the mind. It is subdivided into five classess: (1) Smriti, (2 ) Pratybhijnana, (3) Tarka, 4) Anumana and (5) Agama.
Smriti is the remembrance of an object previously seen, heard or experienced. It arises through the awakening of the past impressions.
"
Pratyabhijnana is the recognition of an object by noticing its similarities and differences. It is the result of remembrance and perception. In the instance, "This is that very Devadatta," this' connotes present perception, that' refers to a recalled memory and from their combination there arises the idea of the identification of the man. This knowledge includes such knowledge as arises from a comparison between an object seen and some other object remeinbered. This is like that, The bos gavæus (Gavaya) is like the cow ", etc., are its instances. This corresponds to Upamana Pramana recognised in the Hindu philosophy.
