________________ Die Entwicklung des Ksanikatvanumanam 377 The different stages of the ksanikatvanumanam with Dharmakirti - starting with a form of the vinastikanumanam, that compared with the inference in Vasubandhu's Abhidharmakosabhasyam is already developed - are shown in their essential structure and difference from each other. Thus is was possible to trace Dharmakirti's deep penetration into the logical problems of this inference and final solution in his Pramanaviniscayah, where the total structure of the sattvanumanam is to be found for the first time.
