PRAMANAMIMANSA
From the introduction of the first sütra, we learn that Pramānamimänsä was to consist of 5 adhyāyas, no doubt, on the model of Gautama's Nyāya-sūtra, but only a fragment of this work has been recovered which extends upto the end of the first āhnika of the second adhyāya Either Hemacandra did not live to finish the work, or the remaining portion still awaits discovery, if it is not destroyed As it is, we have 100 sūtras and the commentary on them preserved for us
This work or the fragment thereof is interesting from many points of view It shows Hemacandra as a great logician and master of Darsanas The work is characterised by his usual lucidity and precision
