A previously uncataloged 9th-century manuscript titled 'Yukti-Malika' (The Garland of Logic) has been discovered in a private archive in Mewar, Rajasthan. The text is a comprehensive treatise on Indian dialectics, focusing on the rules of formal debate and the epistemology of 'doubt' as a constructive tool for attaining spiritual truth.
Expert analysis suggests that the author was a scholar who bridged the gap between Mimamsa and Vedanta, creating a logic system that prioritized empirical evidence alongside scriptural authority. This discovery is expected to shift academic perspectives on the evolution of logical reasoning in North India during the early medieval period.
