An Indian thinker. Also known as Kaabhuj, Kaabaka (all meaning "grain eater") and Aulukya (meaning "owl"). He is said to be the founder of the Indian Vaisheshika school, and is also said to have compiled the Vaisheshika Sutra (the extant version was written around 100-200 AD), the fundamental scripture of this school. He advocated pluralistic realism, and had a great influence on the argumentation of the Nyaya school.
