Pramana is a valid means of knowledge and Prama is valid knowledge. Knowledge can be valid or invalid, valid knowledge is called prama and non-valid knowledge is known as aprama and its important means include:

  1. Upamana ("comparison"), a means of having knowledge of something, in which observance of its similarities to another object provides knowledge of the relationship between the two.
  2. Pratyaksa or Perception is the only source of knowledge; i.e., what cannot be perceived through the senses must be treated as non-existent. Sense-experience is certainly one of the ways of how we come to know.
  3. Sabda (verbal testimony) the knowledge gained by means of texts.
  4. Arthapatti—(“the incidence of a case”), the knowledge gained by circumstantial implication, superimposing the known knowledge on an appearing knowledge that does not concur with the known knowledge circumstantial implication. "Therefore, (arthapatti), appeals to common sense. It is a Sanskrit term meaning "presumption" or "implication.

Hence, Devdatta is fat and he does not eat during the day. Therefore. Devadatta is eating during the night.is an example of implication or arthapatti because it is common sense to evaluate that Devdatta is turning fat, if he is not eating during the day then obviously he will be eating at night.

Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives and click the button corresponding to it. It's nothing short of a revolution in how we eat, and it's getting closer every day. Yes, a lot of people are obese, and yes, the definition of "healthy eating" seems to change all the time. But in labs and research centres around the world, scientists are racing to match our genes and our taste buds, creating the perfect diet for each of us, a diet that will fight disease, increase longevity, boost physical and mental performance, and taste great to boot. As food scientist J.Bruce German says, "The foods we like the most will be the most healthy for us." Is that going to be a great day, or what? All this will come to pass, thanks to genomics, the science that maps and describes an individual's genetic code. In the future, personalized DNA chips will allow us to assess our own inherited predispositions for certain diseases, then adjust our diets accordingly. So, if you're at risk for heart disease, you won't just go on a generic low-fat diet. You'll eat foods with just the right amount and type of fat that's best for you. You'll even be able to track your metabolism day-to-day to determine what foods you should eat at any given time, for any given activity. "Since people differ in their genetics and metabolism, one diet won't fit all," says German. As complex as all this sounds, it could turn out to be relatively simple. What does J. Bruce German say?
