Retrieving the Hidden Meaning: Jain Commentarial Techniques and the Art of Memory -Mari Jyväsjärvi, 2010-3-19

Apologetics and Philosophy in Mandana Miśra's Brahmasiddhi - Hugh Nicholson, 2002Article | [This is a long and quite complicated article, but it cleverly shows how positions

– including one's own – may be distorted in order to assert a position and, in this case,disguise Buddhist influence on Advaita, while using an idea derived from the BhāṭṭaPūrvamīṃāṃsaka, Kumārila, on perception, to critique Buddhist, Bhāṭṭas and Vaiśeṣikasalike. You might like to compare this with Qvarnstrom’s milder view on why doxographicalwritings might not put an author’s view as he would.]
