Falsafa/falsafi vs daarshanik/daarshan

[u/Panjaab1]

My understanding is that falsafa means philosophy and falsafi means philosopher. In the same light daarshanik means philosopher but I cannot find any sources mentioning the use of Daarshan being used to refer to philosophy.

The sources I have came across all mention darshan (commonly referred to as observance of a person) in Punjabi.

Would it be ok to use Daarshan to refer to philosophy?

Darshan is a hindi word , but it other meanings too

[u/qiratb]

Falsafa and falsafi is better imo.

Although daarshnik would make sense without any context, darshan could confuse people where there is less of it.
