If you use a different edi
tion, all the passages quoted here are from the very beginning of the Pratyakşoddeśa. It is interesting to note that Prabhācandra certainly knew the 'paksa' interpretation, although he does not mention it here. But in the Nyāyakumudacandra he gives no less than nine vikalpas for the word gauna, the seventh of which reads dharmini pakşa-sabdopacārāt. Unfortunately, these vikalpas are dealt with too briefly. I think most of them can be subsumed under the interpretation given in the PKM; it is improbable, however, that all the nine of them were advocated by the Cārvākas, let alone by Purandara himself, as a direct explanation of the sūtra. Cf. Nyāyakumudacandra ed. Mahendrakumar, Mānik Chandra Dig. Jain Series 38, Bombay 1938, vol. I p. 71.1-4; yac ca "agaunatvāt' ity uktam (cf. p. 67.16), tatrā-numā nasya kuto gaunotvam-avisada-svabhāvatvāt, svärtha-niscaya parāpek şatvāt, visamuādakatyst, pratyaksa-pūrvaeatvāt, asthad anutpadyamanatvāt, avastu-visayatvāt, dharmini pakşa-sabdo-pacarat, badhyamānatvāt, sādhya

Svārthanumānam, Wien 1973, vol. I p. 25: bhrāntir apy artha-sambandha
tah pramā. 9. The fact that this is not an arbitrary juxta position on our part is corro
borated by the passage quoted in n. 7, where similar interpretations are
directly related to the word gauna. 10. Cf. Tattvasangraha of Shāntaraksita with comm. 'Pañjikā' of Kamala
