By Salikanatha, the pupil of Prabhakara Guru.
The MS. is noticed in L. under the name of Pramanapārāyaṇa, a section of the work.
It contains, however, all the 5 sections. I. Sastramukhaprakarana comes to an end in 6A; II. Nitipatha in 7B; III. Jatinirnaya in 14A; IV. Nayavithi in 16A; and V. Pramāṇapārāyaṇa in 6 chapters ends in 54A.
Printed in the Chaukhamba Sanskrit Series, No. 17, Benares, 1903-4. The printed text is defective and the Prameyapārāyaṇa is wanting. He uses Uddyotakara (e.g. p. 40) and Dharmakirtti, and therefore is not before 650-700 A.D., but is probably before Kumārila. Prabhakara thus dates about 600-650 A.D. (Keith, KM., p. 9, F.N. 2).
