accepts an additional fourth, upamāna (analogy). See S. Dasgupta (1975): I, 332–333. The Carakasamhitā also lists the following four causes of judgments (upalabhikāraṇa): pratyakṣa, anumāna, aitihya and aupamya (Vi.8.33); Cakra interprets upalabhikāraṇa as pramāṇa; aupamya is related to the upamāna of Nyāya (see Nyāyasutras 1.1.3 and 6); compare on aupamya: Vi.8.42 and Cakra's comments (Nyāyasūtra 1.1.6 is referred to); aitihya appears to be the same as āptopadeśa here, but it is ordinarily considered to be tradition or long-standing popular belief (S. Dasgupta, 1975: II, 376–377); aitihya is included in śabda in the Nyāyasūtras.
