Vinītadeva (fl. 7th or 8th century) was an Indian scholar and author of several well-known commentaries.
Working at Nalanda, he produced commentaries on both the Triṃśikā and the Viṃśatikā which survive in Tibetan translation and some Sanskrit fragments.[1][2]
He also wrote:
- a commentary on Dignaga's work, An Analysis of the Objects of Cognition (Ālambanaparīkṣā)[3]
- a commentary on Dharmakirti's Vādanyāya[4]
- a classification of the Early Schools of Buddhism into four major schools[5]
