Tripuṭi-pratyakṣavāda , this term refers to Prabhakara’s Theory of Knowledge, more precisely to his Doctrine of Triple Perception.
Prabhakara advocates the theory of simultaneous revelation of knower, known and knowledge (Tripuṭi-pratyakṣavāda).
He holds the Nayayika view that the self is essentially unconscious but maintains that knowledge is self-luminous, which knowledge reveals the self as the subject and the known thing as the object simultaneously with itself.
[1] Prabhakara, whose work has been commented upon by Salikanatha, as a thinker is more original than Kumarila.
Cognition apprehends itself, its existence is inferred from the apprehension of its object.
