This commentary can be considered as a revised and enlarged edition of the Tarkasaṃgraha. Annaṃbhaṭṭa includes corrections in some places of the commentary. Somewhere, he introduces new topics in this commentary. There are many commentaries written on Dīpikā which testify to the popularity of both Tarkasaṃgraha and Dīpikā.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
