and Uddyotakara's Nyāyavārttika (sixth or seventh century); see on these interpretations S. Dasgupta (1975): II, 399–400; compare on the dates of Vātsyāyana and Uddyotakara: Winternitz III, 465–466. The three kinds of anumāna are not restricted to Nyāya texts; they are also found in the Sāmkhyakārikā (S. Dasgupta, 1975: II, 400). See on Cakrapāṇi's interpretation: Y.K. Tripāṭhī (1987): 40–41. Cakra defines anumāna as the knowledge about imperceptible things (parokṣajñāna), which arises from the necessary connection of one thing with another (avinābhāva) (ad Ca.Vi.4.4, where anumāna is defined as reasoning, tarka, based on yukti). Compare on anumāna: M. Biardeau (1964): 128–134; Jyotir Mitra (1982): 114–117; G. Oberhammer (1991): 43–60; E.A. Solomon (1976); Y.K. Tripāṭhī (1987): 59–61.
