Explanation

The correct pairing links each inferential step to its standard Nyaya definition.

Upanaya is the application of the universal concomitance to the present case.

Paramarsa is the knowledge of paksadharmata as qualified by vyapti.

Vyapti is the invariable association of the middle term with the major.

Paksadharmata is the invariable relation of the middle term residing in the minor term.

These four together form the operative core of Nyaya anumana (inference).
