Caturdaśalakṣaṇī (Jāgādīśīṭīkā) (Commentry on Tattvacintāmaṇi-didhīti)

This is a commentary on Raghunātha Śiromaṇi's Tattvacintāmaṇi Dīdhiti—specifically the anumānakhaṇḍa (the section on inference)—and a sub-commentary on the Tattvacintāmaṇi of Gaṅgeśopādhyāya. It deals with the fourteen lakṣaṇas of vyāpti (invariable concomitance) and begins with the Vyadhikaraṇaprakaraṇa, a subsection under vyāptivāda in the anumānakhaṇḍa. In this discussion, Jagadīśa Tarkālaṅkāra (the commentator) examines the description of vyāpti. Jagadīśa Tarkālaṅkāra, a scholar of the Navya-Nyāya philosophical tradition believed to have lived in Mithila between the 16th and 17th centuries, was the son of Yādava Vidyāvāgīśa, the grandson of Mādhava Miśra, and a pupil of Bhavānanda Siddhāntavāgīśa and Rāmabhadra Sārvabhauma (NCC, Vol. 17, p. 126).
