Gautama has defined five *hetvābhāsas* (fallacies) — *savyabhicāra*, *viruddha* (contrary), *prakaraṇasama*, *sādhyasama* and *atītakāla*. The first occurs when the probans leads to other probandums also. The probans leading to the opposite probandum is *viruddha*. Making probans identical with the probandum is *prakaraṇasama*. Unproved probans is *sādhyasama*.
