In Hinduism

Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)

Source: Shodhganga: Kasyapa Samhita—Text on Visha Chikitsa (v)

Svataḥpramāṇa (स्वतःप्रमाण) refers to “possessing self-validity”.—The (Pāñcarātra) Āgamas, like the Vedas, are revealed scriptures, apauruṣeya, and īśvarapraṇīta (God-given). They possess self-validity or svataḥpramāṇa. Hence the name ‘Bhagavatśāstra’ and ‘mantra tantra samuccaya’,–the combination of knowledge, encompassing in itself, both theory and practice. [...] The self-validity of the Pāñcarātrāgamas is reiterated in the Viśvāmitra Saṃhitā (2.11-12ab; 19) which vouches that they are āptavākya and are valid like the words of seers like Manu, since it has roots in the Veda and Purāṇas.
