INTRODUCTION
Puruşacandra He is a Nyāyavādin (logician). The following verse from some work of his is quoted by Haribhadra in his com. (p. 100) on Anuyogadvăravivrti :
- “अन्यथाऽनुपपन्नत्वमानं हेतोः स्खलक्षणम् ।
Aparta R ETAT TOTEUTETTI: 17" There is one more verse on this page as under:
“धूमादेर्यथाऽपि स्यातां सत्त्वासत्त्वे च लक्षणम् ।
अन्यथाऽनुपपन्नत्वं प्राधान्यालक्षणैकता ॥" Does this verse, too, come from the pen of Puruşacandra ? Malayagiri in his com. (p. 30b) on Dhanmasangahani says:
“सम्यन्यायानभिज्ञताख्यायनमेतदनयोरिति पुरुषचन्द्रः।"
I take this puruşacandra to be the same as one noted above.
Bandhu-Bhagavaddatto He is referred to in the svopajña com. (p. 6a) on Yogadrstisamuccaya as one who mentions eight constituents of yoga in a way different from Patañjali and Bhandanta-Bhāskara, They are : "19, FTTH, 1441, squala, AE, TRUE, saater and mufer".
Bhadanta = Dinnaga (?) Haribhadra in his com. (p. 35) on Nyāyapravesaka quotes “TETITUTE CRACIAS 24 saat” from some work of Bhadanta. In Dinnāga's Pramānasamuccaya (V, 4) we have the first hemistich as "असाधारणहेतुत्वाद् व्यपदेश्यं तदिन्द्रियैः"l. This fairly tallies with the quotation. So can this Bhadanta be identified with Dinnāga?
Bhadanta-Dinna Haribhadra mentions the name of this Bauddha Acārya in two places in his com. (Vol. I, pp. 334 and 337) on AJP. In the first case it is in connection with the discussion about the three varieties of apoha. In the second case a hemistich of a verse attributed to Bhadanta-Dinna is quoted. It runs as under:
___ “विकल्पयोनयः शब्दा विकल्पाः शब्दयोनयः।"
:
1 This diffor once is due to retranslation from Tibetan. % He is addressed as 'Bhadapta' in Brahmanical works.
