Trayīviparīta (त्रयीविपरीत) refers to that which “contradict the Veda”.—In his Tantravārttika 1.3.3, Kumārila (c. seventh century) claims that those who are learned in the three Vedas (trayīvit) do not accept the scriptures of the Sāṃkhyas, followers of the Yoga school, Pāñcarātrika Vaiṣṇavas, Pāśupatas, Buddhists, and Jains, for they contradict the Veda (trayīviparīta) and are internally incoherent (asaṃbaddha). The reliability of authors of such scriptures is also questioned. In his view, these authors are not trustworthy inasmuch as their only wish is to gain social approval, wealth, veneration and fame by cloaking their scriptures, as it were, with elements borrowed from the Veda.
