Key Points
There are five members in nyaya syllogism:
  • Pratigya or proposition: It is the logical statement that is to be proved.
    • For example, The hill is fiery.
  • Hetu or reason: which states the reason for the establishment of the proposition.
    • For example: Because the hill is smoky.(hetu)
  • Udharana: which gives the universal concomitance together with an example.
    • For example: whatever is smoky is fiery, e.g. a kitchen.
  • Upanaya: the application of the universal concomitance to the present case.
    • For example, This hill is also smoky.
  • Nigamana: conclusion drawn from the preceding propositions.
    • For example: Therefore this hill is fiery.

Hence, the correct matching is (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)
