Nyayabindu is a manual of Nyayas'estra by Dharmakirti, the great buddhist writer who flourished in the first half of the 7th century.The work was written as a sort of Vartika on some work of Dinnaga, as seems from the remark of the commentator (see the next number).Our MS. does not contain the last verse mentioned by S. Vidyabhusana in his Mediaval Logic, p. 116, foot-note. See also his History of Indian Logic, pp. 303-319 for Dharmakirti and his works, and Mr. K. B. Pathaka’s excellent article in J. B. B. R. A. S., vol. 19, p. 47. Dr.Peterson has edited the work with Dharmottarapada’s commentary (see next number) from our MSS., in the Bibliotheca Indica Series.The work is also called Laghudharmottara Sutra. |
