Well analysed and written Akshay. I am impressed at your depth of analysis. My father used to explain - Pratyaksha, anumana and Sabda - by the analogy of a person - the mother knows definitely who the father is; while those around who knows the family - infers that the father would be the one who is married to the mother...while a stranger would know that the father of the person only by what he hears from others - for he neither has direct knowledge, nor in a position to frame an opinion on his own - thus relying on the observation or information from others . I was taken about 50 years back when I had the opportunity to hear my father on this. Looking forward to the next ones. All the best.
