Abstract
B.K.Matilal, and earlier J.F.Staal, have suggested a reading of the `Ny\={a}ya five limb schema' (also sometimes referred to as the Indian Schema or Hindu Syllogism) from Gotama's Ny\={a}ya-S\={u}tra in terms of a binary {\it occurrence} relation. In this paper we provide a rational justification of a version of this reading as Analogical Reasoning within the framework of Polyadic Pure Inductive Logic.
