Abstract :

 Vy?pti is referred as the verve of inference. Vy?pti means a correlation that exist between two factors. It  has Vy?pti and VismaVy?pti are referred as two kinds of Vy?pti. SamaVy?pti means Vy?pti which exist two  terms of equal extension concomitance whereas VisamVy?pti means a relation of non–equipollent concomitance that  occurs between two terms. Vy?pti is referred as an invariable connection which exist between the middle and the major term. Vy?pti is established only by the uncontradicted experience of the relation, which exists between two things. It has been said that the Ny?ya method of induction is analysed into five steps only and they are as follows (a) Anavaya (b) Vyatireka (c) Vyabhicharagraha (d) Upadhinirasa (e) Tarka and (f) Samanyalaksana perception Anavaya is referred as a relation of agreement that exist between two things that are found in the presence only. Vyatireka means a relation of agreement that exitst between two things that are found in the absence only. In Vyabhicharagraha, we observe no contrary instance. It has been said that here, one of them is present without the outer. Upadhinirasa is the elimination of upadhis. Upadhis means a conditions on which the relation may possible is dependent. Tarak  and Samanyalaksana perceptions have their own literal meanings according to Naijayikas
