Detailed explanation-1: -Nyaya treated it as theory of knowledge, and its scholars developed it as Pramana-sastras. Pramana, a Sanskrit word, literally is “means of knowledge". It encompasses one or more reliable and valid means by which human beings gain accurate, true knowledge.
Detailed explanation-2: -The accepted number of pramana varies, according to the philosophical system or school; the exegetic system of Mimamsa accepts five, whereas Vedanta as a whole proposes three. The three principal means of knowledge are (1) perception, (2) inference, and (3) word.
Detailed explanation-3: -Nyāya (literally “rule or method of reasoning”) is a leading school of philosophy within the “Hindu umbrella”-those communities which saw themselves as the inheritors of the ancient Vedic civilization and allied cultural traditions.
