________________ Notes. T1.5. lius74-A question arises: Was the Nyāyapraves'a called 'par' P. 1 Title because Haribhadra's work was a 'f' i.e. a commentary on 78' and II 1.3 or was it already known as 'z' and consequently Haribhadra calls his own work''? The latter would seem to be more probable, because Haribhadra speaks of the passages of the text of the Nyāyapraves'a as 'Fla' on which he is writing his commentary. The problem of the original title of the work seems upaffected by this fact. For the exact title of the work see Principal V. S. Bhattacharya's Introduction to Nyāyapraves's Part II p. xi (G. 0.

While a summary at the end of a chapter by the author himself is not unknown (see e. g. Fallast of Jayanta ), such a thing at the beginning would be surprizing. The author of the Yrtti, and following him that of the Pañjikā, discuss the question why this couplet is placed at the beginning of the work, thereby apparently implying that the couplet is unquestionably the author's own. Such an implication, however, does not seem to have been intended. For, all that the commentators discuss is why should the S'loka
