Editing Nagarjuna (section)

=== Hinduism ===
Nāgārjuna was fully acquainted with the classical Hindu philosophies of [[Samkhya]] and even the [[Vaiseshika]].<ref>TRV Murti, ''The central philosophy of Buddhism'', p. 92</ref> Nāgārjuna assumes a knowledge of the definitions of the sixteen categories as given in the [[Nyaya Sutras]], the chief text of the Hindu Nyaya school, and wrote a treatise on the pramanas where he reduced the [[syllogism]] of five members into one of three. In the Vigrahavyavartani Karika, Nāgārjuna criticises the Nyaya theory of ''pramanas'' (means of knowledge).<ref>S.Radhakrishnan, ''Indian Philosophy'' Volume 1, p. 644</ref>
