Of these eight modes of proof the Charvakists acknowledge only one, that from experience: the Buddhists, and the Veiseshikists add inference to it, and so acknowledge two of them: the Sankhyists acknowledge three, adding the proof from testimony to the above two : the Jeinists, and some Nyayists add to these the proof from comparison, and so ac¬ knowledge four: the Prabbakists add reason to these, and so admit five: the Pattists and the Yedantists acknowledge six, adding negation: while the Pura- nists admit probability also, and tradition, and so receive all eight modes of proof. i !
