ANANTALAL THAKUR
The definitions of inference and syllogistic reasoning in the Vyaktiviveka are evidently borrowed from the Nyāyabindu of Dharmakirtti : Vyakti°, p. 78 TETSFIT CHIA TH1781
cf. Nyāyabindu II. 3. Ibid, pp. 65 & 105 feqfettura urefqarah 1
cf. Nyāyabindu III. I. Another passage supporting the view of the Buddhist logicians that there are only two types of cognitive organ seems to have been quoted from some standard work? of Buddhist logic.
The expression g:exuala THTA (Vyaktio p. 322) is traced to the Saugata prakriyā by Ruyyaka. Again terms current in the authoritative works on Buddhist logic like Sarvopasamhāravyāpti (p. 376), Vyāpakaviruddhopalabdhi (p. 85), Asambhavo lakṣaṇadoṣaḥ (p. 79), anyathānupapatti, (p. 112), etc. are often met with in the Vyaktiviveka.
One Kārikā from Dharmakirtti's Pramāņavārltika is found quoted in the Śrngāraprakāśa of Bhoja. 8 Mammata's definition of inference definitely smacks of Buddhist influence: p. 696 BTTN Agri 4 Ayara : पक्षधर्मान्वयव्यतिरेकित्वेन त्रिरूपो हेतुः साधनम् ॥
Kavya Pra. BORI, 1950 The Alamkārasarvasva (Pp. 12-13) of Ruyyaka while refuting Mahimabhatta's inclusion of suggestive sense in inference refers to the Buddhist view of invariable concomittance arising out of tādātmya (identity) and tadutpatti (causation). Jayaratha commenting on the same makes the point clearer. 9
The Tarala by Mallinātha on the Ekāvali of Vidyādhara also criticises Mahimabhatta on the same point and a discussion on the same theory of causation follows in it 10.
The Sāhityadarpaņa of Visvanātha is no exception to it. It defines Savikalpakajñāna just in accordance with the Buddhist logicians.
अभिलापसंसर्गयोग्यत्वविरहान्न च । सविकल्पकसंवेद्यः
• Sāhityadarpana, III.57 cf. effatutafahat gaifa: 4711 741 fedi a 4244 Nyāyabindu 1.5, 6.
Again Viśvanātha is found to quote Pra. Vār. III. 262-3 7951apft : etc. (S. D. Cal. p. 72 ) and to use the term apoha (p. 710 ).
