Mahākhaṇḍana

Contents

Language(s): Sanskrit

Author:
Title: Mahākhaṇḍana

written in the Jaina Devanāgari.

A treatise on logic.

Imperfect.

The text begins after the Jaina diagram. There is the usual Jaina diagram in the centre of each page. The text is bounded on either side by 4 lines.

In the absence of a colophon the origin of the work must remain uncertain; the title is not given in the text itself, which discusses the nature of kathā discussion, as one of the Nyāya categories; cf. Sauli, Introduzione allo Studio della Filosofia Indiana, p. 409.
