Bhasa Pariccheda

The Bhasa-Pariccheda with its commentary, the Siddhanta-muktavali, by the same author, Visvanatha Nyaya-Pancanana Bhattacarya, is a manual on the Nyaya-Vaisesika Philosophy which is extensively read throughout India by all who want to get a fair knowledge of the subject within a short compass. Through inteded for beginners, it is a pretty difficult book, the chief reason for which is its extreme terseness. In 1850 Dr. E. Roer published an English edition of the Bhasa-pariccheda, with extracts from the Muktavali, which is long out of print. An English rendering of the work with the Muktavali was therefore overdue.
