Consequently Upadesha (injunctions or vedopadesa) is the means of knowing dharma and it is undeviated in regard to objects not perceived by other means of knowledge. It is authoritative specially as it is independent according to Badarayana. (See [https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.274358/page/n22 Page 23] of Reference<ref name=":10">Mm.

<blockquote>अपि वा कर्तृसामान्यात् प्रमाणम् अनुमानं स्यात् -१,३.२<ref name=":1" /></blockquote>But on account of Karta (teacher and preacher of Veda and Smrtis) being the same, inference would be that Smrti is also pramana just like the Vedas. By this sutra it can be understood that Anumana is also a pramana accepted by Mimamsakaras.

Here in the context of proving that the Supreme Self alone can be the Purusha, of the size of a thumb, that which participates in punarjanma or transmigration - Shankara says that the proof is from the Shabda or Text itself, from the very term "Ishana" used in the Upanishad, it is gathered that Supreme Self is the absolute ruler of the past and the future.(Page 202 of Reference <ref name=":14" />).

Advaita vedanta also defines pramana as the operative cause (kaarana) of prama or ture knowledge. It defines prama in two ways. First, prama means knowledge that has both the characteristics of novelty and uncontradictoriness. This means that true knowledge is uncontradicted and original, i.e. it gives us new information. Secondly, prama simply means uncontradicted knowledge of objects, excluding or including memory.  <ref>Brahma [https://sa.wikisource.org/wiki/%E0%A4%AC%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%B9%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%AE%E0%A4%B8%E0%A5%82%E0%A4%A4%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%AE%E0%A5%8D Sutra]</ref><ref>Brahma [https://archive.org/stream/BrahmaSutraBhashyaByAdiShankaracharyasanskrit.pdf/Brahma.Sutra.Bhashya.By.Adi.Shankaracharya.Sanskrit#mode/1up Sutras With Sankara Bhasyam]</ref>
