In Hinduism
Nyaya (school of philosophy)
Source: academia.edu: A Critical Edition of the Khyāti Section of the NyāyamañjarīVijñānādvaita (विज्ञानाद्वैत) refers to the “consciousness-monism” (theory), as discussed in the Khyāti Section of the 9th century Nyāyamañjarī (composed in Kashmir by Bhaṭṭa Jayanta) which represents an ontological, epistemological and linguistic study of classical Indian philosophy.—The latter part (Nyāyamañjarī II 505.1-519.11), which also contains other discussions relevant to refuting Buddhist śūnyavāda or the theory of consciousness alone, is included in the ninth āhnika as a part of his refutation of Yogācāra theory. The theor y that Jayanta criticizes there is called vijñānādvaita (consciousness-monism) or śūnyavāda (the view that consciousness lacks corresponding objects). Note that the term śūnyavāda is used to refer to Yogācāra theory and not Mādhyamika theory; Kumārila uses it in the same meaning in the Śūnya chapter of his Ślokavārttika.
Nyaya (न्याय, nyaya) refers to a school of Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. The Nyaya philosophy is known for its theories on logic, methodology and epistemology, however, it is closely related with Vaisheshika in terms of metaphysics.
In Jainism
Jain philosophy
Source: International Journal of Jaina Studies: Haribhadra Sūri on Nyāya and SāṃkhyaVijñānādvaita (विज्ञानाद्वैत) or Vijñānādvaitavāda refers to the “(doctrine of) consciousness-only” (i.e., vijñāna-mātra).—The Śāstravārtāsamuccaya by Haribhadra Sūri’s is not a compendium of philosophical systems (darśana) but a comprehensive account (samuccaya) of doctrinal (śāstra) expositions (vārtā/vārttā) or simply doctrines (vāda). The Śāstravārtāsamuccaya (also, Śāstravārttāsamuccaya) is subdivided into stabakas, chapters or sections, for example: Vijñānādvaita-vāda—on the doctrine of consciousness-only (vijñāna-mātra) of the Yogācāra Buddhists
