The orthodox Naiyāyikas tried to solve the problem in a different way — they opined that *vyāpti* can be grasped without establishing the causal relation, and since it is impossible to observe all the cases of *tadutpatti* in past and presence, Dharmakīrti’s concept of *tadutpatti* is not acceptable to them. Similarly they also rejected Dharmakīrti’s idea of *tādātmya* (common reference), as the essential condition of *vyāpti* can be fulfilled without it. They shifted Dharmakīrti’s frame of inductive reasoning to intuitive reasoning.⁵²
