(b) The Tarkasa峁僩raha of Anna峁僢hatta is rightly the most widely read
primer throughout India and has taken the place of all the previous manuals by
its excellence. It is evidenced by the large number of commentaries - over

Vy膩kara峁嘺, Ny膩ya, Mim膩峁僺膩 and Ved膩nta. He has furnished a valuable
commentary on his own text called Tarkasa峁僩rahadipik膩 and also
commented on the Aloka of Jayadeva. He lived in the early part of the 17th
century.

called Siddhantamukt膩vali which is a popular introduction to the Navya-

Kesava Misra. The Nyayasara deals with only three pram膩nas omitting
