(d) Works of Anantavirya
Besides SVT, Anantavirya seems to have written one more valuable work viz., Pramāṇasaṁgrahabhāṣya or Pramāṇasaṁgrahālankära. Wherever he does not intend to dwell more than necessary in SVT, he hints at the work Pramanasamgraha bhāṣya for detailed study, a fact which is supported by such words 'carsitath, "vyākhyātaḥ', 'uktam' etc. It is clear that Pramāṇasamgrahabhasya was written before SVT. Pramāṇasamgraha1 is too difficult to follow. The quotations, attributed to Anantavirya and referred to by the authors of syādvādaratnākara and Sarvadarśanasamgraha which are not found in SVT may be from Pramāṇasaṁgrahabhāṣya of Anantavirya.
