| | The atomic theory of the ancient Hindus |
 | | Similarly, there is a vaisheShika text along with a sAMkhya treatise in the Chinese version of the buddhist tripITaka that probably originated as a result of the scholastic tradition of kumArajIva. | | | Traditionally the first sUtras vaisheShika are supposed to have been founded by ulUka probably as early as 800 years before gautama buddha as mentioned in the vAyu purANna. | | | While the beginning in the form of kAshyapa kaNAda’s sUtras is spectacular, the subsequent competition from the irrational schools of buddhism and vedanta eclipsed vaisheShika by repulsing Indian intellectual elite from its pursuit. |

| | They believed that all things were composed of nine fundamental substances--the five elements, space, time, mind, and selves, and that whatever exists was both knowable and nameable. | | | The Vaisheshika school was atomistic--that is, they believed that all things were made up of a few basic constituent things--and this atomism was the root of the school's metaphysics. | | | The Vaisheshika analysis of the categories for the universe was later combined with the stress on reasoning in another of the Six Schools, the Nyayas, to form the Nyaya-Vaisheshika school, sometimes called the Naiyayikas. |

| | In 1899 Max Müller, the distinguished linguist and scholar of religions, wrote "The Six Systems of Indian Philosophy", offering a clear, simply presented summary of the doctrine of the six Viewpoints based on their classic texts. | | | It may seem as if the Vaisheshika was rather a disjointed and imperfect system. | | | This is not surprising, since historically the Vaisheshika system has been united for much of its history with the Nyaaya Viewpoint. |

| | Samghabhadra, a Sarvastivada scholar from Kashmir, also once challenged Vasubandhu regarding the Abhidharmakosha. | | | During the formative years of his life, Vasubandhu may have been introduced by his father not only to the Brahmanical tradition but also to the postulates of classical Nyaya and Vaisheshika, both of which had influence on his logical thought. | | | Refutation of Vaisheshika and Samkhya theories had been presented by Vasubandhu already in the Abhidharmakosha, but it was perhaps from this point onward that Vasubandhu was regarded as a philosopher whose views could not be lightly challenged. |
