Evidence
Evidence (Skt. liṅga; Tib. རྟགས་; rtags) in pramana is defined as "something which enables us to know something else". For example, in the well-known logical argument, the presence of smoke rising over the mountain pass can be the evidence enabling us to know that there is fire behind the mountain.
Subdivisions
Evidence[1] is divided into three types:
