Pakshadhara Mishra (also known by the alias Jayadeva) was a 15th-century Indian philosopher from the Mithila region[1] and the founder of the Nyaya Shastra sampradaya in the tradition of Gaṅgeśa.[2][3][4] He was a practitioner of the Nyaya Shashtra during the 15th century CE. Notable pupils of his pupils include Vasudeva Sarvabhauma and Raghunatha Siromani.[5][6]
Among his most notable works is the Aloka which superseded all previous commentaries on the Tattvachintamani. The Aloka itself has been confidently dated to some time between 1465-75 A.D.[1]
