Vais'eșikasūtra
In the extensive philosophical literature, ancient and mediaeval, the Vais'eșika philosophy has often been quoted or referred to. The Nyayadars'unce, as the kindred system has many things in common (including some Sūtras ) with it. The Nyayabhasyu of Vātsyāyana and the Nyayavartika of Uddyotakara hold the tenets of both the systems as equally authoritative. The relation deepened and ultimately the systems merged into a single unit The Brahmasutras of Bādarāyaṇa, according to all the Commentators criticise the Vais'eșika views. The later Advaitins like S'rīharşa and Citsukha are more critical about them. The Mimāṁsā and the Sānkhya seem to have been earlier in origin than the Vais'eşika. But in their development, the Vais'eșika contributes its mite. The Bhasyu of Sabara shows some knowledge of the Vais'eșika system. In the Subschools of Kumārila and Prabhākara its stamp is marked. The extant Sankhyasūtras refute the Vais'eșika categories.
The Buddhists and the Jainas also show some connection with the Vais'eşikas. The Jainas have their own paramāņuvāda. The Trairās'ikasākhā founded by Şadulūka Rohagupta” (A.D. 17) shows many things in common with this dars'ana. 1. Sābara and the Nyāyavais'eșika Darsanas. JOR, Madras,
