Mandan Mishra and the learned institutions

Mithila's contribution to philosophy is examined through Mandan Mishra, whose work on Mimamsa and Vedanta is the printed answer. Legends remember his debate with Shankaracharya. Atisha Dipankara, Shantarakshita and Jaleshwar Mishra are the other scholars named.

The institutions have printed foundation years, and the keys must be kept even where one match-list and one direct question do not tell the same story. The Bihar Research Society was established in 1915 by the efforts of Dr Kashiprasad Jayaswal. The Hindi Sahitya Sammelan in Bihar is keyed to 1919. The Bihar Rashtrabhasha Parishad at Patna is keyed to 1950.

Two match-lists keep their printed codes. For the Arabic and Persian institute, the Vaishali Sangh, the Prakrit and Jainology institute and the Maithili Sahitya Parishad, the key is 3 1 4 2. For the Bihar Rajya Pustakalaya Sangh, the Jayaswal Institute, the Mithila Sanskrit Vidyapeeth, the Urdu Academy and Kala Bhavan, Purnia, the key is 5 3 2 1 4. Learn the code that is printed. Do not rebuild the matching from outside knowledge.
