The Nyāya-bhāskara is a refutation of the Gauda-brahmānandi commentary on the Advaitasiddhi, in refutation of the Nyāyāmrta-tarangini. It consists of twelve topics, and the refutations are mostly of a scholastic nature following the style of the new school of logic in Bengal which found fault with the definitions of their opponents. Some of the most important works of this writer have been referred to in the relevant places of this work.
