==== Upamana, Arthapatti and Abhava ====
 +
While Pratyaksha, Anumana and Shabda pramanas have been explicitly mentioned in the sutras, the others such as Upamana and Arthapatti are not expressed in sutras in Mimamsa. The authoritative commentary of Mimamsa, the Shabara bhyasya, gives the explanations for Upamana and Arthapatti, Abhava is as follows<blockquote>उपमानमपि, सादृश्यम् असन्निकृष्टेऽर्थे बुद्धिमुत्पादयति। यथा गवयदर्शनं गोस्मरणस्य। अर्थापत्तिरपि - दृष्टः, श्रुतो वार्थोऽन्यथा नोपपद्यते इत्यर्थकल्पना। यथा, जीवति देवदत्ते गृहाभावदर्शनेन बहिर्भावस्यादृष्टस्य कल्पना।।</blockquote><blockquote>अभावोऽपि प्रमाणाभावो, नास्ति- इत्यस्यार्थस्यासन्निकृष्टस्य।। तस्मात् प्रसिद्धत्वान्न परीक्षितव्यं निमित्तम्।।<ref>Shabara Bhasya ([https://sa.wikisource.org/wiki/%E0%A4%B6%E0%A4%AC%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%AD%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%B7%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%AF%E0%A4%AE%E0%A5%8D/%E0%A4%AA%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%A5%E0%A4%AE%E0%A5%8B%E0%A4%BD%E0%A4%A7%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%AF%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%AF%E0%A4%83/%E0%A4%AA%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%A5%E0%A4%AE%E0%A4%83_%E0%A4%AA%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%A6%E0%A4%83 Adhyaya 1 Pada 1])</ref></blockquote>Arthapatti "presumption" also consists of in the presuming of something not seen, on the ground that a fact already perceived or heard.. <ref>Mm.

While Pratyaksha, Anumana and Shabda pramanas have been explicitly mentioned in the sutras, the others such as Upamana and Arthapatti are not expressed in sutras in Mimamsa. However Arthapatti has been explained in the authoritative commentary of Mimamsa, the Shabara bhyasya for Upamana and Arthapatti, Abhava is as follows

उपमानमपि, सादृश्यम् असन्निकृष्टेऽर्थे बुद्धिमुत्पादयति। यथा गवयदर्शनं गोस्मरणस्य। अर्थापत्तिरपि - दृष्टः, श्रुतो वार्थोऽन्यथा नोपपद्यते इत्यर्थकल्पना। यथा, जीवति देवदत्ते गृहाभावदर्शनेन बहिर्भावस्यादृष्टस्य कल्पना।।
