The relation between Bhamaha and Bhaṭṭi is very interesting. It was once believed that Bhāmaha preceded Bhaṭṭi. But Dr. Jacobi's discovery that he has borrowed Dharmakīrti's doctrines and phraseology has changed his relation to Bhaṭṭi. Not only is it now presumed that “Bhāmaha probably knew Bhaṭṭi's work”, but that he even “clumsily repeats inalmost identical terms” a verse of Bhaṭṭi. The point, however, does not appear to have been definitely settled, and a few remarks will not be deemed unnecessary in reviewing the entire question.
