The same fact is asserted in different words in the Probans.196 Similarly, he indicates defects in other examples197 put forward by Patrasvamin and tries to prove the two steps of Pratijña and Hetu to be inadequate and incomp lete. This criticism is based on the conception that Jainas recognize only hetu Dh armakirti includes Paksa in Nigrahasthana and then divides hetu in three categories, viz. Paksadharmatva, Sapakṣasatva, and Vipakṣavy vṛtti. These are called Train@pya helu. Both, Draştanta and Upanaya are included in the Hetu of the Buddhists.

It was essential to him as well as other Jaina Acaryas, therefore, to recognise Pratijfia as a separate organ of Hetu.198 As regards the aspects of the nature of a probans, the Buddhists, like the Vaisesikas199 and Sankhyas, 200 assert that there are three aspects of a probans, vis. pakṣasativa (presence in the subject ), sapakṣasattva (presence in a homologues), and Vipakṣāsattva (absence from hetrologues). The Naiyayikas accept, in addition to the above three, two more aspects of the nature of probans viz. abadhitavisaytva (absence of a counter-balancing probans), and asatpratipakṣatva.201 Both. the Buddhists and the Jainas criticise the view of the Naiyayikas.202 The Buddhists include the abadhitaviṣaz atra in paksa and show the superfluity of asatpratipakṣatva.
