Māṇikyanandin, who flourished in the latter half of the 8th century is the author of a work on logic called Parīkṣāmukhasūtra,³⁸ which was commented upon by Prabhācandra in the first half of the 9th century. Besides writing this commentary which is named as Prameyakāmalamārtaṇḍa this writer has also written \*Nyāyakumudachandrodaya\*. Another Jain writer on logic of this period is Mallavādin, who was probably the founder of a Jain Digambara monastery at Naosari which is no longer in existence. The Surat plates of Karkka Suvarṇavarsha which I am editing, (E. I., XXI), record a grant to his des ciple’s des ciple given in 821 A.D. This author wrote a commentary called \*Dharmottaratippaṇaka\* on the \*Nyāyabinduṭīkā\* of Dharmottarāchārya.³⁹ That a book on logic written by a Buddhist should have been commented upon by a Jain is quite in consonance with the spirit of harmony that prevailed in our period. - [Previous: c23.s2.21](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.altekar-1934.c23.s2.21) - [Next: c23.s2.23](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.altekar-1934.c23.s2.23) - [Up: c23.s2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.altekar-1934.c23.s2) ## Cites (3) - [Nyāyabinduṭīkā (Vinītadeva)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.darsana.pramana.dharmakirti.nyayabindu!vinitadeva*bo) — Classical Tibetan - [Parīkṣāmukha](https://indike.org/pramana/in.jaina.anuyoga.phil.nyaya.pramana.parikshamukha) — Māṇikyanandin, Sanskrit - [Prameyakamalamārtaṇḍa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.jaina.anuyoga.phil.nyaya.pramana.parikshamukha!prameyakamalamartanda*jinmati) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.altekar-1934.c23.s2.22](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.altekar-1934.c23.s2.22) · Pramāṇa
