Dharmakīrti’s Sambandhaparīkṣā was already well known through its Tibetan translations and numerous quotations in Sanskrit before a newly found Sanskrit manuscript from Drepung monastery and Hideomi Yaita’s identification of the last three strophes in Sanskrit allowed for a new edition of the complete text. This Drepung manuscript also contains the commentary Sambandhaparīkṣāvṛtti hitherto ascribed to Dharmakīrti, but in this manuscript, and well acceptable, ascribed to his pupil Devendrabuddhi. To the critical and diplomatic editions of these texts, a new critical edition of the Tibetan translations of both is added, because Frauwallner for his edition of 1934 could use only the version of Narthang. Subject of Dharmakīrti’s work is the refutation of all types of relation (sambandha), including the relation of causality, that were assumed by various Indian philosophical systems to exist in reality. For Dharmakīrti these are not given in reality (vastutaḥ), but only conceptually cons...

A collection of fragments and reports contained in Jinendrabuddhi's commentary on the first two chapters of Dignāga's Pramāṇasamuccaya-(vṛtti) which deal with the validity of cogbnitions, perception, and inference. The material collected can mostly be attributed to the pre-Dignāga period of epistemological thought and stems from various long lost works of the brahminical traditions of Nyāya, Vaiśeṣika, Sāṅkhya, Mīmāṃsā, as well as from Vasubandhu's Vādavidhi. The collection provides new insight into the first post-systematic period of Indian thought that focussed on the foundation of knowledge to be able to support the respective systematic edifices and about which very little was known so far.
The texts are presented systematically with philological arguments and translations, and are identified for reference with a view to subsequent collections from the remaining chapters of this work as its edition progresses.
