Madhyamakaratnapradīpa (T. dbu ma rin po che’i sgron ma). “Jeweled Lamp for the Middle Way”. A work of Madhyamaka philosophy attributed Bhāvaviveka. However, because the work contains references to Candrakīrti and Dharmakīrti, who lived after Bhāvaviveka, some modern scholars believe that it was likely a work of different author of the same name.[1]

The text offers is criticism of both non-Buddhist and Buddhist schools of philosophy.[1]
