6.0. Thus, Prabhācandra's presentation brings into light one of the important Şamkhya theories in epistemology which is not explicitly discussed in the early extant Sāmkhya texts. The implication of a similar theory found in the Sāṁkhyakārikā and the elaboration with amendment in the later Sāṁkhya texts suggest the development of the Sāṁkhya theory while Prabhācandra fills a gap between the earlier and the later exposition of the theory. Though the criticism does not seem to be conclusive, yet no Sāṁkhya author has specially referred to and replied to it.
