English	The karmic principle of cause and effect is an extremely hidden object of knowledge. It is therefore the exclusive domain of the omniscient Buddha. Consequently, we can only distinguish between what is to be done[p.57]The Nectar of Manjushri's Speech Blankleder, Helena, and Wulstan Fletcher (Padmakara Translation Group), trans. The Nectar of Manjushri's Speech: A Detailed Commentary on Shantideva's Way of the Bodhisattva. By Kunzang Pelden. Boston: Shambhala Publications, 2010. and what is not to be done by trusting in the pure teaching of the Conqueror, for the karmic principle cannot be demonstrated by [the unaided power of] reasoning. Nevertheless, since the Buddha repeatedly praised the immense benefits of bodhichitta, these benefits may be logically deduced and are thus established. The text therefore makes as if to supply a reasoned demonstration.67Reasoned proofs are constructed on the basis of evidence, in other words, valid knowledge, of which the Buddhist tradition of logic and epistemology recognizes three sources. The first two, which are universally valid both within the Buddhist fold and when Buddhists are debating with non-Buddhists, are the commonly available evidence of sense perception and, based on this, the undeniable conclusions of correctly constructed inferences. The third source of valid knowledge, accepted by Buddhists, is the Buddha’s word. Once one has accepted the truth of the Buddha’s teaching (and it would be inconsistent to accept the Buddha as the Speaker of the Truth and then doubt him), it too can be used as the basis of reasoned arguments about objects that ordinarily lie outside the range of the evidence supplied by normal sense faculties. It is only thus that we have access to knowledge of extremely hidden phenomena, specifically, the workings of the karmic law. See also KCG, Kretschmar, chap. 1, p. 451.

Bodhisattva - A person who seeks enlightenment for the sake of others. In Mahāyāna Buddhism, a bodhisattva is a compassionate being who is training on the path to buddhahood and aspires to eliminate the suffering of all beings and take all sentient beings to the state of enlightenment. The Mahāyāna sūtras including those on buddha-nature generally have bodhisattvas as the main audience or interlocutors for the Buddha's discourses. Skt बोधिसत्त्व  Tib བྱང་ཆུབ་སེམས་དཔའ།  Ch 菩薩

Anumāna - Inference (Skt. anumāna; T. rjes dpag) is a way of knowing something indirectly, using logic and reasoning rather than direct experience. For example, if you see smoke rising from a distant mountain, you can infer that there is a fire there, even if you can't see the fire directly yourself. It's a key way to understand things that are hidden from our senses. It is used in the Buddhist tradition to gain insight into deeper levels of reality of self and phenomena.
