In Hinduism
Nyaya (school of philosophy)
Source: academia.edu: A Critical Edition of the Khyāti Section of the NyāyamañjarīPramoṣa (प्रमोष) refers to the “loss” (of recollection-identity), as discussed in the Khyāti Section of the 9th century Nyāyamañjarī (composed in Kashmir by Bhaṭṭa Jayanta) which represents an ontological, epistemological and linguistic study of classical Indian philosophy.—[...] Jayanta then explains the theory of akhyāti (§1.3) with its famous notions such as smṛti-pramoṣa (§1.3.4, loss of recollection-identity) and vivekāgrahaṇa (non-grasping of the distinction between an original fresh experience and a recollection).
Nyaya (न्याय, nyaya) refers to a school of Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. The Nyaya philosophy is known for its theories on logic, methodology and epistemology, however, it is closely related with Vaisheshika in terms of metaphysics.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
