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:
- Non-observation (mi dmigs pa)
- Nature (rang bzhin)
- Effect('bras bu)
Alternative Translations
- Logical reason (Tillemans)
Notes
- ↑ These are also the three types of reason (gtan tshigs)
