________________ Dr. Gour Hajra of five kinds : Smoti, pratyabhijna, tarka, anumana and agama. They accepted each of these five kinds of knowledge as separate pramana. But according to Naiyayikas tarka is only helpful in removing doubts about concomitance and is not independent organ of knowledge. They are not ready to accept memory as an independent pramana. But the Jainas considered both memory and Tarka as a separate pramana. Therein lies the novelty of Jainism. References ; 1. Pramana-Naya-Tattvalokalamkara-by Vadi Devasuri.
