VAISHALI INSTITUTE RÉSEARCH BULLETIN NO. 2 'anadhigata' (unknown) or 'apurva' (novel) of the Bhatta Mimamsakas, According to the Bhuddhists knowledge, being practically useful, should lead to the realisation of some end, be harmoneous with expe. rience and should favour successful volition. The Bhāțţa Mināmsakas consider it necessary that the content of knowledge should be un. known, or previously unacquired and hence novel. Māņikyanandin combined the opinions of Samantabhadra and Akalanka by including 'sva' and 'apurva' in his single definition. Use of the term vyavasaya'' (determination) by him bears further the influence of Nyāya where this term occurs in the definition of perception."
If the object of cognition must be novel as admitted by Akalanka following the Mīmāmsakas, and the Buddhists' how continuous cogni. tion ((Dhārävahika Jñana) of an object can be regarded as pramāņa. The Naivāyikas have not to bother themselves on this question because cognition of even previously known object can be pramana in their opinion." 1. (i) तत्रापूर्वार्थविज्ञानं......"quoted above.

Dharmottara concludes this in his explanation of the term 'avisapvā daka' in his Tika on the Nyayabindu, p. 3. while the term Anadhigata excludes both Vikulpa and Smrti in Buddhism, in Mimāmsū it includes only the
cases of recollection and not 'Vikalpa.' 5. अनधिगतार्थगन्तृत्व च धारावाहिक विज्ञानामधिगतार्थगोचराणां लोकसिद्धप्रमाणभावना
