INTRODUCTION
vére to happen in future could be foretold by means of this work, and such fortellings were verified and found correct. But, as it was feared that the knowledge derived from this com. would be misused in future, the leaders requested Haribhadra to destroy it; for, this work was after all a pāpa-grantha, and as such it was not fit to be known to any and every body in this iron age. I do not know if there is anywhere any Ms. of this original work or its com.
In Panhāvāgarana (which is different from the tenth anga) 45 letters are grouped under five heads forming the five vargas', and the answering of questions is based upon them. This is known as 'vargakevalividyā”.3 It seems this very vidya must have been treated in the above-mentioned work commented upon by Haribhadra. In Rājasekhara Sūri's Caturvimsatiprabandha (p. 58) there is mention of kevalividhi as the last art meant to be studied by Bappabhatti and Ama. Has this art anything to do with the vidyā here referred to?

Haribhadra has commented upon $Nyāyapraves ceket®. This com. is called Sisyahita, and there is a Pañjika on it by

(p. 36 ) on it are quoted in SM (com, on v. 16) This was composed to facilitate the study of Nyāyadvära equated with Nyāyamukha) of Dinnaga. The contents of this Nyāya. praveśaha tally with those of chapter XXIX of Manimekhalai, a Tamil work, Deponding upon Tibetan evidence Dr. Satischandra Vidyabhusana, Vidhushekhara Bhattacharya and Dr. Keith attribute Nyāyapravesaka to Dinnaga, while on the strength of Chinese evidence Prof. Vi, Sugiura, Tucci, Tubianski and Mironov to Sankarasvāmin, a disciple of Dinnāga. Vide A. B. Dhruva's intro. (P. VI) to Nyāyapraveśaka.
