PRAMANA VYAVASTHA AND PRAMANA SAMPLAVA

 Difference between pramana vyavastha and pramana samplava.

• There are different means through which we learn valid knowledge. 
• These means are called pramanas.
•  The pramanas are six in number. 
• They are perception (pratyaksa), inference (anumana), comparison (upamana), testimony (sabda), presumption (arthapatti), and non-cognition (anupalabdhi). 
• Pramana-vyavastha means the jurisdiction of each pramana is mutually exclusive of the jurisdiction of the other. 
• For example Buddhist philosophy believes in pramana vyavastha which means every pramana has separate jurisdiction.

Pramana samplava means various prmanas may overlap each other. 

The schools of Nyaya and Vaisesika believe in pramana samplava.
