Uddyotakara is the Brahmin author of a sub-commentary called the Nyāyavārttika on Gautama’s Nyāya‧sūtra (ca. 2nd c. CE). He refutes the Buddhist logician Dinnaga (ca. 6th CE), and quotes the Vādavidhi [Vādanyāya]of Dharmakirti as well as the Vādavidhāna‧ṭīkā [Vāda‧nyāya‧ṭīkā] of Vinitadeva.
Uddyotakara is cited by Dharmakirti in the Nyāyabindu, and is named by Subandhu in the Vāsavadattā‧kathā (ca. 600 CE).
