Fire is cold because it is a substance represents which of the following Hetvabhasa?

AViruddha
BBadhita ✓ Correct
CAsiddha
DSavyabhichara
Correct answer: (B) Badhita
Explanation

The thesis is annulled by a stronger valid cognition, which is Badhita (the contradicted thesis).

The argument claims fire is cold because it is a substance.

Direct perception plainly shows fire to be hot, not cold.

A sadhya set aside by such perception cannot be re-established by any reason.

When the probandum is refuted by a stronger proof, the reason is the Badhita hetvabhasa.
