________________ Sankhyanalaka Madhava 'Sankhyanam Saka-Madhavaner' obviously requires to be amended as 'Salepalaka-Mad hasarat Here also S'gutarakalta is referring to Madheve's unfaithfulness to the Samkhya tradition. (e) Refuting Satkaryavada, Bhasarvaja says to his auto-commentery Bhusana on the Nyayasgra that if the view of Madhava were to be accepted, the Samkhya doctrine would surely meet with destruction. If a novel attribute, 'manifestation' or some other, which was non-existent be created the reasons put forth, viz because what is non-existent otamot be produced', and the like, would be ineffectual reasons, and thes aatkaryavada not being proved, valivartipya etc. would not be proved, and so Pradhana, etc could not be established There is no for according this differential treatment of holding in the case of the effect, cloth or the like, that it could not be brought out if it not-existent, and it could not perish if it were existent, and at the etme time accepting that this is possible in the case of one of its attributes (viz. manifestation) (Madhava-matabhyupagame tu Sankhya-naia katham yadı hy abhivyaktir anyo va kaseid dharmo' sannera kriyata tasasadakaraṇad ity evamadayo'samartha hetabah syus tataḥ sakaryatida valtrarüpyadyasiddhek pradhanadyasiddhir it, no ca tra hesap kebod yena paladıkaryasyawäsataḥ karaga sata mahanabad taddharmasya tu kasyacts sambhavaty evet-Nyayabana, p. 569. B, 1968) According to this, Madhava had no objection to airpaksi (manikatatlon) being regarded as a new attribute that is brought about by the act of production, but being a Samkhya he would not accept that the affect was not there in the cause even before its production. But by this the ones of qatkaryavada is actually marred We find a reference to a Samkhya 'doctor' Madhava in the description of the travels of Yuan Chwang in India, Madhava is said to have ved in Magadha in the vicinity of Gaya. He was very much honoured by all and had received vast stretches of land by way of gift. He was challenged by the Buddhist, Gupamati Bodhisattva for a debate and le said to have died on that very occasion. This debate was arranged by the then ruling king at the instance of Gunamati According to Yuan Chwang, Medhave was defeated in this debate and the king being impressed by the Buddhist's learning got a Sangharama constructed at the place where the træthe took place Now Gunamati of Valabht is said to be a pupil of Varabandhu, A contemporary of Sthiramatl, and teacher of Paramartha. Paramartha, a ative of Ujjaylor was a disciple of Gupama Paramterthe boome proficient 'In all branches of learning and probably settled down in Palipatra, At the request of the Chinese emperor, he was went to China
