[[Pramana (प्रमाणम्)|Pramana]], the instrument of valid cognition is one of the most unique concepts that have originated on Bharatavarsha. As we see in the table, all Astika darshanas admit at least three of the [[ShadPramanas (षड्प्रमाणाः)|Shad Pramanas]] accepted namely, Pratyaksha, Anumana and Shabda.
The sutras and commentaries which explain the various Pramanas accepted by each of the astika Shad Darshanas are henceforth addressed in this context.
Some Darshanas like Nyaya and Samkhya have clearly explained their stance on the acceptance of the Pramana, whereas others such as Uttara Mimamsa (Brahmasutras) have not clearly stated so. That these pramanas have been accepted by them has to be inferred from the sutras which are the basis of the commentaries. While Pramanas for Nastika darshanas are mentioned in the attached table, their sutras and commentaries are outside the scope of the present article. Pauranika and Tantrika darshanas also mention the pramanas accepted by them<ref>Harh, Amal Kumar. (1994) Ph.

The sutras and commentaries which explain the various Pramanas accepted by each of the Astika [[Shad Darshanas (षड्दर्शनानि)|Shad Darshanas]] are henceforth addressed in this context.
