c11.s12.3

*Vaidika Satyārthaprakāśa* by Akhilanand Sharma, *Dayānandatimirabhāskara* by Pt. Jwala Prasad, *Dayananda-Saraswati-mukha-capeṭika* (A Slap on the Face of Dayananda Saraswati) by Thakar Das Jaini and *Dayananda-chala-kapaṭa-darpaṇa* (A Mirror of Conceit and Deception of Dayananda) were some of the books in Hindi where Dayananda was bitterly attacked. The attacks in response were equally intensive. Tulasi Ram wrote and published a rejoinder of Pt. Jwala Prasad's book in his *Bhāskaraprakāśa arthāt Paṇḍita Jwala Prasad-kṛta Dayanandtimirabhāskara kā Uttara* (1897). Baldev Prasad, a brother of Jwala Prasad, replied to it in his *Dharmadivākara*, and this led Pt. Tulasi Ram to come out with *Divākaraprakāśa*.⁹¹
