*Logic*—By logic I mean pure logic having only one category viz. *pramāṇa* which, of course, touches upon other categories as far as they are necessary for its proper elaboration. Thus the doctrine of the nature and salvation of the soul has no direct place in this pure logic. So far as the *Jainas* are concerned, their logic deals with 3 topics viz. *pramāṇa*, *naya* and *nikṣepa*. The latter two topics are the special features of this logic. In *Thāṇa* (VII; s. 552), *Aṇuogaddāra* (s. 152) and *Visesā* (v. 2180-2278) there is a description of *naya* and its 7 kinds.
