Introduction:Knowledge in Sanskrit is called prama. It means true cognitions which contribute to knowledge. On the other hand, false cognitions which contribute to false knowledge are called aprama.
Cognitions are classified in Indian philosophy into two categories;
true cognitions or those cognitions which possess the property of pramanaya
false cognitions or those cognitions which possess the property of apramanya
The theory of knowledge or pramana-sastra is a rich Sanskrit text that deals with valid knowledge and the means of valid knowledge.
All the schools of Indian philosophy (both, orthodox and heterodox) accept the concept of prama and means of valid knowledge or pramanas.
