Akalanka

Image of ''Acharya Akalanka'' Akalanka [IAST: Akalaṅka] (also known as ''Akalaṅkadeva'' and ''Bhatta Akalaṅka'') was a Jain logician whose Sanskrit-language works are seen as landmarks in Indian logic. He lived from 720 to 780 C. E. and belonged to the Digambara sect of Jainism. His work ''Aṣṭaśatī'', a commentary on ''Āptamīmaṃsa'' of Acharya Samantabhadra deals mainly with ''Jaina'' logic. He was a contemporary of Rashtrakuta king Krishna I. He is the author of Tattvārtharājavārtika, a commentary on major Jain text ''Tattvartha Sutra''. He greatly contributed to the development of the philosophy of ''Anekantavada'' and is therefore called the "Master of Jain logic". Provided by Wikipedia
