A Proof (of existence) is denoted by the Sanskrit term Hetu, according to the Sarvajñānottara verse 20.34-39.—Accordingly, while discussing the culmination of detachment (for the process of attaining the no-mind state): “[...] Having made the mind supportless, he constantly meditates on the inconceivable. Know that the ultimate, incomparable bliss is that bliss, free of thought, inconceivable, transcending anything that might prove (hetu) or exemplify [its existence], which he experiences when his self has transcended [all] the Tattvas and has become devoid of [all] aspects”.
