Synopsis Jayanta Bhatta occupies a unique position in the history and development of Indian Philosophy in general and Pracina Nyaya in particular. Nyayamanjari is an encyclopaedic exposition of the Pracina Nyaya. While writing this, Jayanta has taken into account all the relevant views of almost all the systems of Indian Philosophy prevalent at his tike. He has presented views of his opponents so elaborately and clearly that some times it is easier to understand the opponents from Jayanta's Nyayamanjari than from the original texts of the opponents.
