Bhaṭṭa Arcaṭa’s Hetubinduṭīkā was edited by Pt. Sukhlalji Sanghavi and published in 1949. This text was prepared on the basis of a manuscript found in the Srī Saṅghavī Pāḍā Bhaṇḍāra in Patan （Pāṭaṇa）, Gujarat, but folios 6, 21, 27, 52, 117, and 178 are missing. Recently, Francesco Sferra （Sferra 2022） found that Manuscript No. 67 of the Hodgson Collection in the Royal Asiatic Society consists of Ratnakirti’s Sthirasiddhidūṣaṇa and Arcaṭa’s Hetubinduṭīkā. Further, taking into account the contributions of Muni Jambuvijaya, Elliot Stern, and Ernst Steinkellner, we have now almost the complete text of the Hetubinduṭīkā. In this article, the author investigates the text which corresponds to folio 52 of the Patan manuscript, by comparing the Sanskrit text presented by Sferra 2022 with that by Muni Jamubivijaya （Jamubuvijaya 1968）.
