Nyaya Sastra was founded by Gautama to affirm Vedic concepts and to refute non-Vedic arguments.
"The Science of Logic is that which illumines all learning, the instrument of all actions, the refuge of all moral ethics analysed completely for the purpose of knowledge", said he.
Pradeepa Sarva Vidyanam
Upadhi sarva karmanam
Ashraya Sarva Dharmanam
Vidyoddhese pareekhithah
Nirukta was founded by the seer Yaska. It is the Science of Definition. Aristotle said " If you want to converse with me, define your terms". So defining all terms is the duty of Nirukta ( Vasti tasya niruktham thu veda nirvachanam sphutam ).
