13 led so great a professor of Nyaya, as Jagadica, to write a commentary on this work according to the Vedanta system of philosophy. It would be an interesting study to Vedantists to see how their great rivals have treated their most favourite works. Pratyaksalokavyakhya. An old paper MS., written in a very small hand. This appears to be a new commentary on Jayadeva Micra's commentary on the Tattvacintamani Part I. The author's name could not be found. Cabdakhandarahasya, by Mathura Nath, is a very rare work. Other commentaries by Mathura Nath have also been secured, one of which is Gunaprakacadidhitirahasya, which may be regarded as a commentary in the sixth remove on the Vaicesika-sutras, in this way :- 1 Vaicesika-sutras. Commentary by Pracastapada. 1 Commentary by Udayana. 1 Commentary by Varddhamana. Commentary by Ciromani. 1 Commentary by Mathura Nath. Similarly, a commentary on the Cintamani, in the third remove, by Mathura Nath, has been obtained. This is called Pratyaksa-alokarahasya. Some curious works have been obtained from Bankura by the exchange of some printed books from Calcutta. These are Karikas on the Sutras of the various Darcanas. They are by one Jagannath Tarkalankara; the Karikas are on Nyaya and Vaicesika, and there are short commentaries on Sankhya and Patanjala. SMRTI. Graddhapradipa, by Pradyumna Carma, an inhabitant of Silhet. The work was as yet known only in quotations. A complete but very dilapidated copy has been acquired, by the exchange of a modern paper copy, made under my supervision. It appears that Pradyumna wrote other works also, and that he had a school of his own, the only work of which has been, thus, saved from oblivion. Cuddhitattarnava, by Crinath Acaryya cudamani, who preceded Raghunandan at Nadiya, as the founder of a new School of Smrti. His works end with the word " Arnava." The names of some of these works ending with the word Arnava are already known. Cuddhitattvarnava was known only in quotations. Pandit Bhava Nath Nyayaratna, of Ilchoba, has presented this along with other works to the Society. Cuddhidipika, by Crinivasa, is another gift by the same learned pandit. It is a work quoted by Halayudha, the Chief Justice of King Laksmana Sena.
