In his \*Tattvopaplavasiṁha\* he has critiqued all the systems of philosophy and spares none of them from making a fun. He has chided the Buddhists philosophers like Dharmakīrti by using such phrases as — \*tad bālavilasitam\* (acting like a child, p. 29), \*jadaviteṣṭitaṁ\* (acting like a fool, p. 32), \*tadetan mugdhābhidhānaṁ dunoti mānasaṁ\* (this kind of saying like that of a simpleton really hurts our mind, p. 39), \*tad bālavalgitaṁ\* (that was the chattering of a child, p. 39), \*tan mugdhavilasitaṁ\* (that was the act by a fool, p. 53), etc. He is still more harsh and sarcastic for the Jaina monks.⁵⁵ - [Previous: c5.s9.12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.tripathi-2021.c5.s9.12) - [Next: c5.s9.14](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.tripathi-2021.c5.s9.14) - [Up: c5.s9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.tripathi-2021.c5.s9) ## Cites (1) - [Tattvopaplavasiṃha](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darsana.nastika.carvaka.tattvopaplavasimha) — Jayarāśi Bhaṭṭa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.tripathi-2021.c5.s9.13](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.tripathi-2021.c5.s9.13) · Pramāṇa
