[N.S.] 
Udyotakara in his Nyaya-vartika! mentions Dignaga under 
the name of Bhadanta, and describes him as a Ku-tarkika. Vacas- 
pati Misra, in his Tatparyatika? on the Nyadyavartika has identified 
Bhadanta with Dignaga, has mentioned Dignaga by name and has 
tried to justify his appellation Ku-tarkika. Dignaga’s definition of 
Pratyaksa (perception) has been mentioned by Udyotakara and 
Vacaspati Misra? thus :—yeapet amaqigiea | “ Perception is (intui- 
tive and therefore) exempt from reflection.” *

The commentator Mallinatha says that Dignaga referred to in this verse 
was the Buddhist philosopher of that name.
