Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (philosophy)Anumitatva (अनुमितत्व) refers to the “fact of being inferred”, according to the Īśvarapratyabhijñāvivṛtivimarśinī 2.129-130.—Accordingly, “Even [if] an external object [is] inferred [, it] can be talked about only insofar as it is being manifest, for if [it] were distinct from the manifesting consciousness (prakāśa), since as a result it would not be manifest, [the awareness of] the very fact that the entity is inferred (anumitatva) would amount to a state of stupor!”.
