Yoga (school of philosophy)

Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch

(The doctrine of) Logic is denoted by the Sanskrit term Tarka, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] Not by studying the doctrines of scriptural exegesis, logic (tarka), planets and mathematics, nor by the Vedas, Upaniṣads, Dharmaśāstras [and the like]; not even by lexicons nor metre, grammar, poetry nor rhetoric; the sage's attainment of the highest reality is gained only from the oral teachings of his own Guru. [...]”.

Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)

Logic refers to one of the “Ten Sciences” (in Tibetan: rig gnas bcu) which were taught by Śākyaśrī to Sakya Pandita (Sapan).—[...] At the age of twenty-three, Sakya Pandita (1182–1251) met the great Kashmiri pandit Śākyaśrī. With the great pandit and his disciples, Saṅghaśrī, Sugataśrī, and Dānaśīla, he trained completely in the ten sciences [e.g., logic or valid cognition]. At the age of twenty-seven, he took full ordination from the great Kashmiri pandit.
