Pramana (Samskrit : प्रमाणम्) is the means or special source of pramaa (Samskrit : प्रमा) or right knowledge. It is that which gives a subject valid knowledge and only valid knowledge of objects. Pramanas are the processes through which one understands the realities of cosmos. All the ancient Indian philosophical schools , namely the Shad Darsanas (Nyaya, Vaiseshika, Samkhya, Yoga, Mimamsa (Purva Mimamsa) and Vedanta (also known as Uttara Mimamsa)) sprang up out of an urge for enquiry into the real sate of things (Tatvajignasa).
