Compare Works
Pick two or more works to set their attribute fingerprints, dimension-by-dimension passages, and shared school embodiments side by side. Especially useful for author-stage comparisons (Wittgenstein early vs late) and for setting a single tradition's foundational texts against each other.
Tattvopaplavasimha
A systematic demolition of every means of valid knowledge recognised by every Indian school — perception, inference, testimony, all devoured

Dimension-by-Dimension Evidence
What each work's passages reveal about its stance on each of the six dimensions.
Time
Tattvopaplavasimha
Unaddressed. The text does not construct a theory of time; it demolishes every framework within which time could be theorised.
Space
Tattvopaplavasimha
Unaddressed. The Vaisheshika categories of space are among those demolished.
Matter
Tattvopaplavasimha
Unaddressed. Atoms, prakriti, skandhas — every account of matter's fundamental nature is attacked and found wanting.
Observer
Tattvopaplavasimha
The observer is reduced to a bare phenomenal perspective. Single, embodied, active in dialectical argument but unable to ground any positive knowledge claim. No metaphysical agency survives the demolition.
Energy
Tattvopaplavasimha
Unaddressed. Causal power cannot be established once inference is destroyed.
Information
Tattvopaplavasimha
Unaddressed. The concept of valid knowledge (prama) is itself the target; no theory of information can be built on destroyed foundations.
Internal Tensions
Where each work's argument pulls against itself.
The self-referential problem: the Tattvopaplavasimha uses inference and argument to destroy inference and argument. If its own reasoning is valid, then at least one pramana works; if invalid, the conclusions do not follow. Jayarasi seems partially aware of this and may intend the text as a performative demonstration rather than a doctrinal assertion — but the tension is never explicitly resolved.
