Śālikanātha was a
Mīmāṃsā philosopher (
Pūrva Mīmāṃsā) of roughly 800 AD, a follower of
Prabhākara
Prabhakara ( IAST: ''Prabhākara'') active c. 6th century was an Indian philosopher-grammarian in the Mīmāṃsā tradition of Kerala.
Probable date
Hariswamin's commentary on Shatapatha Brahmana which dates to 638 CE discusses the doctri ...
(6th century) and an opponent of the Bhāṭṭa school started by
Kumārila Bhaṭṭa in the 7th century. Śālikanātha is believed to have written the
Prakaraṇapañcikā, which is one of the very few texts available to us to study the Prābhākara school of Pūrva Mīmāṃsā. Śālikanātha also wrote Ṛjuvimalāpañcikā and Dīpaśikhāpañcikā commentaries on Prabhākara.
