Entry 6875, Page 250, Col. 2

<k1>tarka<k2>tarka tarka¦, m. (in Skt. reasoning, philosophizing), as with Pali takka, in BHS seems normally to have pejorative connotation, sophistry, vain speculation; typical are Sutrāl. i.12 with comm., see Lévi's Transl. (dialectique), and Laṅk 24.2 kathaṃ hi śudhyate tarkaḥ kasmāt tarkaḥ pravartate, kathaṃ hi dṛśyate bhrāntiḥ…, how is tarka purified (got rid of)? From what does it arise?
