The Nyayacastra of Medhatithi
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 December 2009
Extract
One point only in Dr. Barnett's vivacious article in the last number of this Bulletin (pp. 519–22) seems to merit further examination, because it deals with an issue which is capable of definitely objective treatment, namely the reference in the Pratimānāṭaka to the Nyāyaçāstra of Medhātithi. Dr. Barnett, despite the brief refutation of his view given by me above (Vol. III, Pt. II, p. 295), still insists that the Nyāyaçāstra can only mean the Manubhāṣya, a work of the tenth century a.d.

page 625 note 4 The name may have been suggested to the author by the Pracetaḥsmrti, a work well known from legal citations. It may be noted that a Çrāddhakalpa ascribed to Prajāpati exists (Calcutta Sanskrit College. Catalogue, ii, 325), and that Pracetas is a Prajāpati (Manu, i, 35). The epic (xii, 350. 65) makes Hiraṇyagarbha the author of Yoga.
