Abstract

In this article, I will try to inquisition about Pratyaksha-Prayojaka through a comparative discussion of Nyaya and Advaita Vedanta based on various core texts. The mystery of pramana in philosophy is as profound as it is significant. Prameya are proved by pramana. Karana of Prama is called Pramana. Although Indian philosophers differ on the number of Pramana, but all philosophical schools accept ‘Perception’. The word ‘Perception’ is mainly used in three different senses. First, the word ‘Perception’ refers to perceptional state. Secondly, by the word ‘Perception’ means the special-condition (Karana) of perceptional state. Thirdly, the word ‘Perception’ refers to Prameya or the object of cognition. The word ‘Perception’ is therefore used in the sense of Pramana as well as in the sense of Prama. However, it is not possible to discuss the doctrines of Pramana of all school of philosophy in a short scale. Therefore, in this article firstly I will briefly discuss about the nature of perception of the opinion of Nyaya and Advaita. And after that I will try to briefly discuss about Pratyaksha-Prayojaka of the opinion of Nyaya and Advaita. Finally, an attempt will be made to arrive at the conclusion through a comparative discussion of both the doctrines which will add novelty to the essay.
