Karika 6

सामान्यतस्तु दृष्टादतीन्द्रियाणां प्रतीतिरनुमानात्।
तस्मादपि चासिद्धं परोक्षमाप्तागमात्सिद्धम्॥ ६॥

Translation by Henry Thomas Colebrooke (1837): Sensible objects become known by perception; but it is by inference (or reasoning) that acquaintance with things transcending the senses is obtained; and a truth which is neither to be directly perceived, nor to be inferred from reasoning, is deduced from revelation.

Translation by John Davies (1881): The knowledge of formal or generic existence is by perception; of things beyond the senses by inference; that which cannot be determined by this (method) and cannot be perceived must be determined by fitting means.

Translation by Ganganath Jha (1896): Knowledge of supersensuous objects is obtained through Inference - the Sâmanyatodrishta. What is not proved by this is proved by revelation.

Translation by Nandalal Sinha (1915): (Intuition of sensible things is from perception). But the intuition of super-sensible things is from Sâmânyato Dṛiṣṭa and Seṣa-vat Inference. And super-sensible things not established from that even, are established from Testimony and Revelation.

Translation by Har Dutt Sharma (1933): By means of Inference based on Analogy, the objects beyond senses are proved; that which is not proved by this (Inference) and cannot be directly perceived, is proved, by Valid Testimony.

Translation by Radhanath Phukan (1960): Knowledge of objects beyond the power of the senses to take cognition of, may be derived by inference which is based on analogy; what is obscure and not attainable even by inference may be knowable from Āptavacana.

Translation by Swami Virupakshananda (1995): But the knowledge of supersensible things is obtained through Inference based on general observation; and the knowledge of supersensible things not established even by that is established through Testimony and Revelation.

Translation by G. Srinivasan (recent): And in the case of phenomenon that is imperceptible, mobile, expansive and hence undetectable, inferential method using holistic, deductive, logical, verification technique to mentally experience phenomenon, is known as Siddhi.
