Explanation
★The aim of Nyaya is to end suffering born of ignorance of reality, so that is the answer.
★Nyaya holds that false knowledge causes bondage and suffering.
★Right knowledge of reality (tattva-jnana) removes that ignorance.
★This leads to liberation (apavarga), the cessation of suffering.
