*Brahmasūtra* of Bādarāyaṇa, *Mīmāṁsāsūtra* of Jaimini, *Sāṁkhyasūtra* of Kapila, *Yogasūtra* of Patañjali, *Nyāyasūtra* of Gautama and *Vaiśeṣikasūtra* of Kaṇāda were composed in the BCE era. These herald the beginning of six systems of orthodox philosophy — all of them accepting the Veda as authority. Of these, Vedānta alone is pure idealist, Sāṁkhya and Yoga are realists but have leanings towards idealism; remaining systems of the orthodox philosophy are all realists.
