Shastri, ed. ''Amitagati Acharya’s Dharmaparīkṣā'' (Sohalpur, 1978), p. 10.</ref> His ''Dharmaparīkṣā'' is the story of two demi-gods ([[vidyadhara]]), one of whom tries to convert the other to Jainism by pointing out the logical flaws of Hinduism. The text belongs to a long tradition of critical dialogue between Jain and Mīmāṃsāka thinkers.<ref>S. K.
