Bhāvasena
Bhāvasena was a Jain philosopher of the Digambara school who lived in South India during the late 13th and early 14th century.[1] His Viśvatattvaprkāśa is particularly important for its systematic questioning of the validity of the Vedic tradition.[2] In his Collected papers on Jaina studies, P. S. Jaini gave an account of Bhāvasena and his Muktivicāra and Bhuktivicāra, with translations.[3] Somewhat later, Eiichi Yamaguchi, in his report on the 14th world Sanskrit conference in Kyoto, 2009, refers to a paper delivered by Robert Zydenbos on Bhāvasena's Viśvatattvaprkāśa, but that work remains unpublished.[4]
