⁹³ Compare the five types of hetvābhāsa (fallacy) of the Nyāyasūtra: savyabhicāra, viruddha, prakaraṇasama, sādhyasama and kālātīta (1.2.4–9). The Carakasamhitā employs the term hetvābhāsa as a synonym of ahetu (Vi.8.59). See also the twenty-four jātis of the Nyāyasūtra (5.1.1); prakaraṇasama of the Nyāyasūtra (5.1.16) differs from Caraka's prakaraṇasama; saṃśayasama of the Nyāyasūtra (5.1.14) is not identical with Caraka's use of the term; varṇyasama is similar to sādhyasama of the Nyāyasūtra (5.1.4). See S. Dasgupta (1975): II, 386–388; Jyotir Mitra (1982): 89–92; E.A. Solomon (1976): 271–306; Y.K. Tripāṭhī (1987): 92–99 and 105–115; S.Ch. Vidyabhusana (1971): 34–35, 51.
