Question

Match the pairs of System of philosophy with the Theory of Error accepted by the system, and choose the correct option:

System of philosophy: (i) Kumarila Bhatta (ii) Prabhakara (iii) Advaita-Vedanta (iv) Nyaya

Theory of Error: (a) Anirvacaniyakhyati (b) Viparitakhyati (c) Anyathakhyati (d) Akhyati

This question was previously asked in
MH SET 2025 Paper 2 Sociology Question Paper (15-Jun-2025)
The correct answer is

(i)-(b), (ii)-(d), (iii)-(a), (iv)-(c)

The classical Indian debate on erroneous cognition (khyativada) assigns a distinctive theory of error to each darsana. Advaita-Vedanta holds anirvacaniyakhyati, the view that the object of illusion is neither real nor unreal but indescribable. Nyaya-Vaisesika holds anyathakhyati, the mis-apprehension of one really existent thing as something else.

Within Mimamsa, Kumarila Bhatta defends viparitakhyati or vipariti-khyati, a contrary judgement in which the qualifier is wrongly attached to the qualificand. Prabhakara defends akhyati, the failure to apprehend the difference between two cognitions, so that no positive error is generated at all.

Hence, the correct pairing is (i)-(b), (ii)-(d), (iii)-(a), (iv)-(c).
