First off, I hope you realize that there are several groupings of the Six Darshanas.

I'd tend to agree with the Manimekhalai (a Dravidian work) which (if you feel a need to attribute a prior movement to the Dharma) states that Buddhism is derived from Jainism. It also gives, from the pre-Vedic perspective, where these six darshanas come from. ALL of the six prophets of these darshanas existed *before the writing of Sanskrit.* All of them.
