Summary

Unidentified fragment from a commentary, possibly Nīlakaṇṭha's Tarkasaṅgrahadīpikāprakāśikā since it includes numerous mentions of his name and some partial verse correspondences. This work is a commentary on Annambhaṭṭa's Tarkasaṅgraha, a treatise on the Vaiṣeśika branch of Nyāya philosophy; appears to have a devotional component focused on the deity Śiva. Lacks the end of the text.
