The Kārikāvali, authored by Viśvanātha Pañcānana, is a profound treatise in the Navya-Nyāya (New Logic) tradition. Comprising 168 verses, the Kārikāvali along with the Muktāvali encapsulates the core doctrines of the Nyāya-Vaiśeṣika system.
The commentary Muktāvalīsāra (specifically the Pratyakṣa-khaṇḍa, or the section on perception) provides a word-by-word explanation of the text, including grammatical analysis of necessary terms and a detailed exposition of the various philosophical theories discussed.
Because of its clarity and depth, this work is unquestionably sufficient for both students and teachers of the discipline, especially for resolving doubts in the study of logic and philosophy.
