192 The Carakasamhitā shows a preference for the term parīkṣā (investigation, examination); see, for example: Ca.Sū.11.17: the fourfold examination of that which exists (sat) or not exists (asat); Vi.4.5 and 8.3. The term pramāṇa is employed, e.g., at Ca.Sū.11.33, Vi.4.4, Śā.1.45; Cakrapāṇi uses it very often. See on pramāṇa: S. Dasgupta (1975): I, 330–332; Nyāyakośa; M. Biardeau (1964); E.A. Solomon (1976). See on parīkṣā: G. Oberhammer, E. Prets and J. Prandstetter (1996): 161–162. See on pramāṇa and parīkṣā: Jyotir Mitra (1982): 105–106.
