Pārsvadeva Gaņi' composed in Samvat 1169, That the author of this Sisyanita is Haribhadra Sīri, the very author of AJP; is a view about which there are no two differences of opinion. It is a slip on the part of Satischandra Vidyabhusana and consequently that of Dr. A. B. Dhruva when he refers to him as Haribhadra II. Really he is Haribhadra I. Taking Sarvat 535 as his date, Dr. B. Bhattacaryya in his Foreword (p. LXXV) to Tattvasangraha, identifios him with Acārya Suri montioned in the Pañjika (p. 66 ) of Tattvasangraha (v. 123–124). I am not at present in a position to prove or disprove this identification.
There are quotations in Nydyapraveśakavyākhya on pp. 10, 11, 12, 12, 14, 15, 18, 20, 21, 24, 24, 33, 35 and 35. Their pratikas are as under :
___ शास्त्रप्रकरणादीनां, त्रिरूपालिङ्गा०, सम्यन्यायपरि०, सम्यन्यायोप०, खसमयपर०, खयमिति वादिना, अन्वयव्यतिरेक०, बुद्धिमत्पूर्वी०, तदेतत् त्रैलोक्यं, असिद्धभेदो, अनैकान्तिकभेदाश्च०, साध्याभावे, न बर्थे शब्दाः सन्ति, असाधारणहेतु..
Of these are 10m...is from Nyāyabindu ( III, p. 80%), manier from the Blocīsya of Vyāsa on Yogasūtra (III, 13) and the last steroEo is attributed to Bhadanta...
While explaining anumana in this S'isyahita (p. 11) Haribhadra has introduced on p. 11 a sūtras of Dharmottara ing. tead of that of Dinnāga, as one which Dinnāga is going to say. This is what we learn from Pārsvadeva Gani who tries to explain away this inconsistency in his Pañjika (p. 40) by remarking that since the, sūtra introduced and the sūtra which ought to have been quoted mean one and the same thing, such a procedure is not unjustifiable. If we can accept this statement that it is Dharmottara's sūtra it follows that Haribhadra was conversant with some work of Dharmottara. But who is this Dharmottara? Is he the well-known commentator of Dharmakirti's Nyāyabindu-the commentator whose date is : He is later on known as Gricandra Sūri.
2 This page number refers to Chowkhamba Series (No. 22).' 3 "werferie for FAT4177". In Nyāyabindu (III, p. 28) we
have "तत्र स्वार्थ त्रिरूपालिङ्गाद्यनुमेये शानं तदनुमानम्". Dharmottara while commenting upon it says: "ETSKE Staa". There is thus
a difference in wording. So it may be from some other work of . Dhermottara such as a com. on Pramunaviniscaya. . Or it may be
that Pärsyadeva Gani may be wrong in attributing it to Dhermottara,
