Nyayakusumanjali is a classic work on the logical enquiry into the existence of God by Udayanacarya, a Hindu philosopher-theologian of the 10 th-11 th century. Exhaustive interpretative exposition of Udayana?s auto-commentary has been a demanding necessity, owing to the difficult nature of the work involving terse logical subtleties, for the students of Hindu theology. The text has been divided into five chapters. In the first four chapters objections advanced by the opponents against the existence of God have been analysed and refuted, and the proponent?s standpoint is stated. The fifth, the last chapter of the text, advances the positive proofs for the existence of God. In the translation of the Karikas and in the interpretative exposition of Udayana?s auto commentary main emphasis is laid on bringing out the contents of the text, some of which is known but most of which is hidden behind the text, due to the difficult nature of expression, analysis and methodology followed in the composition of the work.

Stabaka ? I God ? The Controller of Adrsta Stabaka ? II God ? The Author of the Vedas Stabaka ? III No Proof for Non-existence of God Stabaka ? IV God ? The Substratum of Valid Knowledge Stabaka ? V Proofs for the Existence of God

Dr. (Mrs.) Bhaswati Sinha (nee Bhattacharya) born in August 1945, did her M.A. from the University of Calcutta in 1968 and Ph.D. from the Centre of Advanced Study in Philosophy, University of Madras in 1975, under the supervision of Professor T.M.P. Mahadevan. After the completion of her Ph. D., Professor Mahadevan assigned her the Post-Doctoral research work on Khandana-Khanda-Khadya of Sriharsa. At the urgent demand of the Department of Religious Studies, Punjabi University, Patiala for sending an accomplished teacher to teach Hinduism in the area of Comparative Religion, Professor Mahadevan recommended her name for the job in November 1976 and since then she is seriously engaged in the teaching and research work in the Department. She has so far published numerous research papers on Hinduism and Comparative Religion. The present work is an outcome of sustained labour of more than twenty years by the author.
