⁶⁵ Jayanta Bhaṭṭa, Bhāsarvajña and Vācaspati Miśra accepted the following five categorical elements of *hetu* — *pakṣadharmatva* (presence of *hetu* in the thesis case), *sapakṣadharmatva* (its presence in the similar case), *vipakṣavyāvṛtti* (its absence in the dissimilar case), *abādhitaviṣayatva* (validity) and *asatpratipakṣatva* (absence of counter-probans). They deleted the sixth category — *jñātatva* (being known).
