This statement is further interesting as it helps to refute the remark of Dr. Jolly who says (Introduction, p. 4) that *Ānvīkṣikī* philosophy includes the materialistic system of *Lōkāyata* in the *Arthaśāstra* of Kauṭalya in which wealth (*artha*) and pleasure (*kāma*) are the only objects of human pursuit. According to *Amarakāra Ānvīkṣikī* is *Tarkavidyā* or the science of logic. This latter is also known as *Nyāya Śāstra* and *Hētu Vidyā*. Cf. Commentary on verse 47, ch. clxxx of *Mōkṣadharma Parvan* (Mbh., Śānti Parvan).
