of reasoning and subtlety of thought those of the best schoolmen 
of Medieval Europe. 
From the seventeenth century downwards the new school 
spread outside Bengal, first to Benares, and then to other parts 
of India, After the eighteenth century Bengal ceased to pro- 
duce any notable writers, and the bulk of the sub-commentaries 
and discussions were written by non-Bengalis. Gadadhara 
Bhattacarya’s voluminous works seem to have been studied 
specially in South India. 
l. HARIDASA NYAYALANKARA BHATTACARYA. 
Several of his commentaries are extant,! viz. :— 
(i) The Kusum-ainjali-vyakhya, or a commentary on 
). ayana’s verses. | 
(ii) The Tativa-cinta-mani-prakasa, a commentary on 
2 Gangesa’s famous work; > 
(iii) The Many-Gloka-tippani or vyakhya, a sub-gloss on 
Jayadeva’s commentary, the Aloka. 
Haridasa Nyayalankara must be older than Saka 1521 or 
1599 a.p., in which year a MS. of his Many-aloka-tippant (Sabda) 
was copied. How much older he was there are no data to decide.

He wrote the Nydya-siddhanta-maijart, an elementary 
treatise on the four kinds of proof. This park was widely read,
