In Hinduism
Mīṃsā (school of philosophy)
: academia.edu: Religious Inclusivism in the Writings of an Early Modern Sanskrit Intellectual (mimamsa)Anumeya (अनुमेय) refers to “that which can be inferred� (e.g., lost Vedic texts whose existence can only be ‘inferred�).—Kurila argues in the Tantravārttika 1.3.11-12, that the Kalpasūtras have a higher status than ṛt texts: while the former expand upon rules of sacrificial procedures described in directly perceivable (ٲⲹṣa) Vedic texts, the latter are compilations based presumably upon lost Vedic texts whose existence can only be inferred (anumeya). However, Kurila refuses to ascribe them full ‘vedicness� because of their essentially ancillary status. Likewise, Śaivāgamas are not mere ṛt texts for Appaya, yet they are not on a par with the Veda; they only possess authority thanks to their dependence on the Veda.

Mimamsa (मीमांस�, mīṃsā) refers to one of the six orthodox Hindu schools of philosophy, emphasizing the nature of dharma and the philosophy of language. The literature in this school is also known for its in-depth study of ritual actions and social duties.
Shaiva philosophy
: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (philosophy)Anumeya (अनुमेय) refers to the “object of inference� [?], according to the Īśvarapratyabhijñāvimarśinī 1.178.—Accordingly, “And there is no argument proving [the existence] of the [external object], and the main (mukhya) [argument] refuting (첹) [its existence] amounts to this much: the fact that there [can] be no manifestation (śԲ) [of it] even as a [mere] object of inference (anumeya) if [this object] is distinct from the manifesting consciousness (ś)?�.
