Navadvipa

Navadvipa in Bengal became the second great home of Navya-Nyāya, the 'new' school of Indian logic and epistemology. Its founding text, Gaṅgeśa's Jewel, was written in Mithilā in the first half of the fourteenth century and became the central text for later Naiyāyikas. Britannica describes the new school as dividing into a Mithilā branch and a Navadvipa branch, whose leading figures included Vāsudeva Sārvabhauma (1450-1525) and Raghunātha Śiromaṇi, who was born here around 1475 and died around 1550.
