Upāyakauśalyahṛdaya (उपायकौशल्यहृदय) or Upāyakauśalyahṛdayaśāstra (“Essence of Skill in the Accomplishment of Action”) is stated to be a work on the art of debate by Bodhisattva Nāgārjuna. In Chinese this work is called Fan-pien-sin-lun. It was translated into Chinese by Ci-cia-ye and Than-yao in A.D. 472.—Seeing that the Vaiśeṣika and other systems were obscure in their terminology, Nāgārjuna, it is reported, undertook to write this book to give a clear exposition of the art of debate. The book is divided into four chapters styled respectively as (I) an elucidation of debate (vāda-visadīkaraṇa), (II) an explanation of the points of defeat (nigraha-sthāna), (III) an explanation of the truths (tattva-vyākhyāna), and (IV) the analogue or far-fetched analogy (jāti).
