c6.s5.t14.6

Jayarāśi became a model for the practitioners of *vāda*. A number of Jaina monks utilized his method for debating with rival systems.¹³⁴ Vidyānanda, a Jaina philosopher who flourished between CE 810-75, had not only cited *Tattvopaplavasimha* by name in his *Aṣṭasahasrī*, but also produced excerpts from Jayarāśi's text with a view to refute him.
