PRAMĀNA ARTHĀPATTI AND ABHAVA
Towards the fag end of this chapter Jayanta refers to the view which considers Sambhava and Aitihya to be independent pramāņas. But Jayanta contends that Sambhava is not different from Anumāna (Inference) and that Aitihya is but Agama (Verbal Testimony). He rejects Cárvāka view that it is impossible to determine the number of pramānas. All this Jayanta has done within a very short space of hardly a page.
