NYAYA THEORY OF KNOWLEDGE
The Nyāya should not have found fault with the Sāṁkhya views of the intellect or the mind as an organ of knowledge -(pramāna). On its own showing, pramāņa as the unique cause of pramā is a complex of physical and psychical conditions (bodhābodhasrabhāvā sāmagrī). Hence there seems to be nothing wrong merely in taking a material principle like buddhi as the means or organ of knowledge (pramāņa).
