Detailed explanation-1: -Every school of Indian Philosophy developed its own theory of error (known as Khyativāda) made to fit its epistemology and metaphysics. The Concept of Error (Khyativāda) in Indian Philosophy is a discussion of the illusory or false knowledge (Aparmā) as against True knowledge (pramā).
Detailed explanation-2: -According to Shankara’s theory of error, the false appearance is a positive, presented entity that is characterized neither as existent (because it is sublated when the illusion is corrected) nor as nonexistent (because it is presented, given as much as the real is).
Detailed explanation-3: -The Nyaya theory of error is similar to that of Kumarila’s Viparita-khyati (see Mimamsa). The Naiyyayikas also believe like Kumarila that error is due to a wrong synthesis of the presented and the represented objects. The represented object is confused with the presented one.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Indian epistemological tradition comprises six important sources of knowledge. They are: perception (pratyaksa), inference (anumana), verbal testimony (Sabda), comparison (upamana), presupposition (arthapatti) and non-apprehension (anupalabdhi).
