The opponents of Dharmakīrti on the other hand attacked the logistics of inference as envisaged by him. Amidst the works by the orthodox Naiyāyikas, *Nyāyavārttikatātparyaṭīkā*, *Nyāyavārttikatātparyaṭīkāpariśuddhi*, *Nyāyamañjarī* and *Nyāyabhūṣaṇa* vehemently criticize him. The first two accept Dharmakīrti as an original thinker, the other two however find his theses as the derivative of *Nyāyasūtra* of Gautama. A staunch critic of Dharmakīrti, Jayanta Bhaṭṭa, specifically said that Dharmakīrti was indebted to Akṣapāda Gautama.
