name. He seems to be identical with the author of the *Nyāya-siddhānta-mālā*, the *Padārtha-maṇimālā*, and of commentaries on the *Nyāya-kusumāñjali* and on the *Tattvacintāmaṇi-dīdhiti* (Aufrecht i 20a), which works indicate that he was a Naiyāyika. He is described as the pupil of Rāmacandra (or Rāmbhadra) Bhaṭṭācārya and guru of Janārdana Vyāsa. He is cited by Śrīvatsalāñchana and Bhīmasena, but the only writer who appears to quote him extensively is Viśveśvara (as Nyāyapañcānana) in the his *Alam. kaus.* pp. 11, 23, 106, 127, 161, 162, 172, 263, 327. Jayarāma was certainly later than Raghunātha Śiromaṇi (beginning of the 16th century), on whose *Tattva-cintāmaṇi-dīdhiti* he commented, but earlier than the beginning of the 18th century, the date of Bhīmasena.
