3.1.46
dṛṣṭadoṣaḥ svayaṃvādaḥ svapakṣaparapakṣayoḥ /
anuyogārjavaṃ hetuḥ śapathaś cārthasādhakaḥ //
Self-assertion (svayamváda) on the part of either of the parties has often been found faulty. Examination (anuyoga), honesty (árjava), evidence (hetu) and asseveration by oath (sapatha)---these alone can enable a man to win his cause.
