Summary:
Commentarial (ṭīkā) work possibly related to Nyāya school of philosophy and the work the Cintāmaṇi on the topic of inference, by the 13th-century author, Gaṅgeśa Upādhyāya. The title abbreviations in the upper left margin "cin." "ṭī." and "mathu." also suggest this interpretation. The Cintāmaṇi is divided into four sections, and this manuscript would represent the last section (pūrvakhaṇḍa) of that work. Contains a number of different internal, secondary works including the Pūrvapakṣarahasya and the Siddhāntalakṣaṇa. Manuscript lacks a beginning.
