8, 12) relates that Kapila, being attacked by the sons of King Sangara, destroyed them with fire which issued from his body.

But the author of the Purana denies that this was done in _anger_.

'How could the sage, by whom the strong ship of the Sankhya was launched, on which the man seeking emancipation crosses the ocean of existence, entertain the distinction of friend and foe' ?" The Sankhya system is also frequently mentioned in the Mahabarata.
The Nyaya system differs from that of Kapila, by assuming a third eternal and indestructible principle as the basis of matter, namely, _Atoms_.

It also assumes the existence of a Supreme Soul, Brahma, who is almighty and allwise.

It agrees with Kapila in making all souls eternal, and distinct from body.
