Abhyupagamasiddhānta (अभ्युपगमसिद्धान्त) or simply Abhyupagama refers to a “tenet which is implied or accepted on assumption” (within a debate), according to Upāyakauśalyahṛdaya, an ancient work on the art of debate composed by Bodhisattva Nāgārjuna.—The siddhānta (tenet, truth or conclusion) is of four kinds, viz. (1) that accepted by all the schools (sarvatantra siddhānta), (2) that accepted by a particular school (pratitantra siddhānta), (3) that accepted hypothetically (adhikaraṇa siddhānta) and (4) that which is implied or accepted on assumption (abhyupagamasiddhānta).
