P.L. Vaidya mentions in the preface to the "History of Navya-Nyaaya
in Mithilaa" by Dineshchandra [sic] Bhattacharya says: "His
contributions on the History of Vaidyaka, Dharma"saastra, Navya-
Nyaaya and Sanskrit Grammar scattered in the pages of different
scholarly journals will immortalise him". I think you will find that
this is one person.
