Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) Only two pairs
Āryadeva was a 3rd-century Mahāyāna Buddhist Madhyamaka philosopher, not a Jaina. Dignāga (c. 480-540 CE) was the seminal Buddhist logician of the Pramāṇa school, and Nāthamuni (823-951 CE) was the first Ācārya of the Śrī Vaiṣṇava tradition. Thus two pairs (2 and 3) are correctly matched. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aryadeva?utm_source=openai))
