what we may call Pratyaksha or seeing directly. But the fact that the material 
which was reduced to ashes gets conveyed to  the person for whom it is intended 
by Mantra Sakti is something which we  cannot directly see as Pratyaksha.

It is the Paroksha or inferential  connection that is responsible for such a 
transmission and only those who  have complete mastery over the Vedas can 
understand this aspect. The  inference that the sacrifice made while uttering 
the name of Indira, Rudra, or Varuna really reaches them, is Paroksha and can 
be well understood by those who know the power of these Mantras. For them it is 
as good as direct evidence.
