Svatahpramanya is a Sanskrit word that means "to (“self-validating”).
The idea that some things, such as knowledge, are
self-validating in Indian philosophy.
This indicates that they may be shown to be true in and of
themselves, without referring to any of the other pramanas, or techniques by
which humans can receive real and correct knowledge.
The question of whether or not these entities existed, and
if so, what they were, was a matter of heated debate among Indian
intellectuals.
