Review: A STUDY OF JAYANTABHAṬṬA'S NYĀYAMAÑJARĪ : A MATURE SANSKRIT WORK ON INDIAN LOGIC

Jayanta Bhatta, a Kashmiri pundit of the 9th century A.D., was an astute Indian logician and an able philosopher. His Nyayamanjari occupies a unique place among the Sanskrit works on Indian philosophy, and bears ample testimony to Jayanta's philosophical acumen and intellectual powers, and forcefully establishes Nyaya theories after critically examining the rival ones.
