Virodhakṛt (विरोधकृत्) refers to “being contrary to the principles” (of a particular philosophy), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.9 (“Boasting of Tāraka”).—Accordingly, as Tāraka-Asura said to the Gods: “[...] Again in his ninth incarnation he slighted the Vedic path and contrary to its principles (virodhakṛt), preached and established the atheistic philosophy called Buddhism. How can he be considered an excellent, virtuous man, how can he be victorious in battle who has committed sin without caring for Vedic cult? [...]”.
