“Four knowledge and visions” discussed in *Upāya-Kauśalya-hṛdaya śāstra* are actually the four quantities mentioned in *Nyaya Sutra*. There are many contents in “hetvabhasa” discussed in *Upāya-Kauśalya-hṛdaya śāstra* identical with “hetvabhasa” mentioned in *Nyaya Sutra*. Many contents of the twenty “jatis” discussed in *Upāya-Kauśalya-hṛdaya śāstra* are similar with “jatis” in *Nyaya Sutra*. There are also many contents about “nigrahasthana” in *Upāya-Kauśalya-hṛdaya śāstra*, though not identical with the 22 nigrahasthanas in “Nyaya Sutra”, the basic contents are the same, they are all the expressions of the failure condition in debate.
