प्रमाणभूत

The one who IS the ultimate authority and standard of proof for all truth

जो स्वयं प्रमाण (प्राधिकार, सबूत, मानक) हैं, सत्य का अंतिम पैमाना

Indian logic (Nyaya) recognises 4 pramanas: Pratyaksha (perception), Anumana (inference), Upamana (comparison), Shabda (testimony)। Scientific method — hypothesis, experiment, proof — modern pramana system। Supreme Court judgement — legal pramana। Peer-reviewed journal — academic pramana। Aadhaar — identity pramana। Certificate — qualification pramana। शिव pramanabhuta — He IS the pramana, not measured BY pramana — like a kilogram standard weight doesn't need to be 'weighed' — it IS the weight — शिव is the reference against which all truth is measured।

ॐChant for truth-verification and authority. Ideal during Nyaya Shastra study. Invoke for discernment. Powerful during philosophical debate and truth-standard meditation.
