Detailed explanation-1: -This pramā is constituted by adding prefix pra with mā where pra means excellent or superior, and mā implies knowledge. Thus, the concept of pramā means valid cognition or yathartha jnana. Prameya implies the object of valid cognition. Pramāṇa is the instrument through which we know.
Detailed explanation-2: -“Knowledge” here means the knowledge of God as well as the knowledge of our own divine nature. Vedanta, then, is the search for Self-knowledge as well as the search for God. What do we mean when we say God? According to Vedanta, God is infinite existence, infinite consciousness, and infinite bliss.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Naiyayikas (the Nyaya scholars) accepted four valid means (pramaṇa) of obtaining valid knowledge (pramana)-perception (pratyakṣa), inference (anumāna), comparison (upamāna) and word/testimony of reliable sources (śabda).
