Ṣaḍdarśanasmuccaya

The Shaddarshanasamuccaya is a work by Haribhadra, an 8th-century Jain author known for his Sanskrit and Prakrit writings on Jain doctrine and ethics. This text specifically examines six philosophical systems of India. Haribhadra, who was born into the Brahman caste and later joined the Shvetambara order of Jain monks, also wrote on logic and yoga. The term darshan in Indian philosophy refers to the unique perspective of each philosophical system. The six main Hindu darshans are Samkhya, Yoga, Nyaya, Vaisheshika, Mimamsa, and Vedanta, with Buddhism and Jainism also considered non-Hindu darshans.12
