Akalanka

Akalanka (also known as ''Akalank Deva'' and ''Bhatta Akalanka'') was a Jain logician whose Sanskrit-language works are seen as landmarks in Indian logic. He lived from 720 to 780 A.D. and belonged to the Digambara sect of Jainism. His work ''Astasati'', a commentary on ''Aptamimamsa'' of Acharya Samantabhadra deals mainly with ''jaina'' logic. He was a contemporary of Rashtrakuta king Krishna I. He is the author of Tattvārtharājavārtika, a commentary on major Jain text ''Tattvartha Sutra''. He greatly contributed to the development of the philosophy of ''Anekantavada'' and is therefore called the "Master of Jain logic". Provided by Wikipedia
