Ākhyātavāda: A semantic study based on manuscript

Abstract

All systems of Indian Philosophy deal with the notion of ākhyāta Especially it was an interesting topic of detailed discussion right from the Vedic literature to the Navya-Nyāya system. Ākhyātavāda is one of the texts which deal with the notion of ākhyāta. This text is known in the name of Gadādhara Bhattāchārya and Raghunātha Śiromaṇi. Though a published edition is available based only on the manuscripts found in the library of Sanskrit Sahitya Parishat, Kolkata, no semantic work is available yet on the said text Ākhyātavāda. This work is based on the Manuscript having the same name Ākhyātavāda found in Oriental Institute, Baroda. Manuscript study and semantical study is done under this work.
