The Concept of Paksa in Indian Logic

In order to explain this a little more precisely I shall make use of formal expressions, thereby perhaps inviting the accusation that I am imposing on the Indian material a framework of modern mathematical logic, thus merely substituting a more fashionable bias for the Aristotelian and Kantian prejudices of my predecessors. But this in fact is not the case. I use symbols merely because they are more precise and unambiguous than ordinary English. By introducing them I do not import any notions, theorems, or theories of contemporary Western logic.
