Note-Pandit Vidhushekhara equates 6271987" with 14 in the above extracts on the strength of a note in the colophon of T (pp. 28-29) that "in a Chinese book it is seen as Nyayapraves'a while in Tibet it is now known as Nyayadvara".
This equation however, does not seem justified. For, as pointed out by Dr. Tucci, "in the colophon to the Nyāyapraves'a, translated into Tibetan from the Chinese (Cordier, iii, p. 436), it is already said that this work must not be identified with the Nyāyamukha ( Dr. Tucci's reading for Nyāyadvārs] which is quoted in the commentary on the Pramāņa(samuccaya).". The note in the colophon of T to which Pandit Vidhachekbara refers should, therefore, be explained in some such way as this, that the Tibetans had not seen either the Nyāyadvāra or the Nyāyapraves'a, and had heard only of the former, and consequently when they saw Nyayapraves'a they thought that it was the same as Nyāyadvāra. (3) There are references to Dinnāga's logical tenets in Kumārila's
S'lokavārtika some of which are traceable, almost verbatim, to the Nyāyapraves's, a few of these being expressly attribated to Dirnāga by Parthasārathimis'ra, the commentator of the
S'lokavārtika. These are as follows :(a) ale un ATA sauna--S'l-vārt (Anu-P, 60)
