Pratyakṣa (Perception)

This is the most direct form of knowledge, obtained through the five senses (sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch) or the mind. It's considered to be the most immediate and reliable source of knowledge. #Pratyaksha #Perception

Anumāna (Inference):

Inference is the process of deriving conclusions based on perceived evidence or premises.
