Sthiramati wrote a commentary on the Kāśyapa-Parivarta, or Ratnakūṭa,⁴ and on Vasubandhu's Trimśikā. Dharmapāla wrote a commentary on the Vijñaptimātratā-Siddhi. The greatest and most independent thinker among the successors of Vasubandhu is Dignāga, the founder of Buddhist logic, and one of the foremost figures in the history of Indian Philosophy.¹ Only \*a single one\* of Dignāga's works, the Nyāyapraveśa, has come down in Sanskrit; we know the others only from the Tibetan translations.² The principal work of his successor Dharmakīrti,³ the Nyāyabindu, has come down to us in Sanskrit. - [Previous: v2.c19.s6.t4.307](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s6.t4.307) - [Next: v2.c19.s6.t4.309](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s6.t4.309) - [Up: v2.c19.s6.t4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s6.t4) ## Cites (5) - [Parātrīśikā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.sampradaya.saiva.agama.trika.rudrayamala.paratrisika) — Sanskrit - [Nyāyapraveśa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.darsana.pramana.dignaga.nyayapravesa) — Śaṅkarasvāmin, Sanskrit - [Nyāyabindu](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.darsana.pramana.dharmakirti.nyayabindu) — Dharmakīrti, Sanskrit - [Vijñaptimātratāsiddhi](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.darsana.yogacara.vijnaptimatratasiddhi) — Ratnākaraśānti, Sanskrit - [Kāśyapaparivarta](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.ratnakuta.kasyapaparivarta) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s6.t4.308](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s6.t4.308) · Pramāṇa
