INTRODUCTION
settled by some scholars as 847 A. D. or so? If so, it is imposible for Haribhadra to quote a sūtra of one who flourished a century later. To avoid this inconsistency Jinavijaya and Muni Kalyānavijaya, too, suggest that Haribhadra has quoted a sūtra of some other Dharmottara who may be at best his contemporary. This means that according to them there are two persons by name Dharmottara. In support of this view Jinavijaya says:
Vadin Deva Sūri in his Syādvādaratnākara (pp. 10-13) has referred to Dharmottara the senior by addressing the junior as Vyddha-Dharmottarānusāri' and `Vyddhasevāprasiddha'.
Kailāśacandra Šāstri in his Hindi intro. (pp. 94-95) to Nyāyakunudacandra ( pt. I ) refutes this view of Jinavijaya as under: 1. Jinavijaya has not properly understood the pertinent portion. Dharmottara referred to in stare :' (p. 20) is none else but the well-known commentator of Dharmakirti's works; for, Vādin Deva Sūri, in his discussion, has specifically mentioned Nyayaviniscayaţikā? and Nyāyabindutikā" as his works. : After examining the view of Dharmottara (p. 20, 1. 3 to p. 24, 1. 9) this Deva Sūri says:
"बलदेवबलं स्वीयं दर्शयन्निदर्शनम् ।
वृद्धधर्मोत्तरस्यैवं भावमत्र न्यरूपयत् ॥ १७ ॥" Later on, this Sūri observes :
"वृद्धसेवाप्रसिद्धोऽपि ब्रुवन्नेवं विशङ्कितः।
बालवत् स्यादुपालभ्यत्रैविद्यविदुषामयम् ॥ १८ ॥" Instead of 'बलदेवबलं स्वीयं' it should be 'बलं देवबलः स्वीयं'. Thus Devabala is here ridiculed by being referred to as bala' (ignorant) and 'yrddhasevāparāyaṇa'.
Kailāśacandra further adds that this is that very Devabala who is mentioned in Syidvādaratnākara (p. 575) as under:
.. "एतेन यदपि धर्मोत्तरविशेषव्याख्यानकौशलाभिमानी देवबलः प्राह".
1-2 “यतो न्यायविनिश्चयटीकायां स्वार्थानुमानस्य लक्षणे इति पर्युक्षानवः इति अनुमन्यमानश्चानु
मापयसि स्वयमेव लक्ष्यस्यापि विधिम् । स्पष्टमेवाभिदसि च न्यायविन्दुवृत्तौ". It appears that through confusion instead of Pramanaviniscaya, Nyāyaviniscaya is mentioned here.
