Commentary on Nyāyabindu by Śāntabhadra

According to Funayama 2001 p. 318f, Śāntabhadra's commentary on the Nyāyabindu is considered to have shared much with Vinītadeva's Nyāyabinduṭīkā, and this might also be taken to suggest a proximity of their lifetimes. Funayama 2001 further demonstrates that Śāntabhadra's view on mānasapratyakṣa, from a Sautrāntika standpoint, is similar to that of Jñānagarbha. However, the identity of Jñānagarbha as well as his chronological relationship to Śāntabhadra remain unclear.
