His Tarkakaumudī is another syncretical work. This work is written following the Praśastapādabhāṣya. In this work seven categories are discussed. He accepts knowledge as a guṇa of the soul. It is of two kinds–anubhava (apprehension) and smṛti (recollection). Anubhava (apprehension) is also divided into two types–pramā (right apprehension) and aprama (wrong apprehension). Laugākṣi Bhāskara accepts only two means of knowledge (pramāṇa) These are: pratyakṣa and anumāna.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
