PREFATORY NOTE In the scheme of publications planned for the Adyar Library, Buddhistic literature forms one important branch of study. Special attention has been paid in recent years to the study of Tibetan and Chinese versions of certain Buddhistic Texts in Sanskrit which had been lost and could only be reconstructed on the basis of their Tibetan and Chinese versions. The Bhavasankranti-sutra and Nagarjuna's Bhavasankranti sastra published by the Adyar Library in 1938, under the editorship of Pandit N. Aiyaswami Sastri, were our first attempts in the direction of such restoration. Encouraged by the reception which the Bhavasankranti-sūtra received at the hands of the scholars, we are now issuing the second of the series, the Alambana. parīkşa and Vịtti of Ācārya Dinnāga under the same editorship. A fortunate circumstance has preserved this important Buddhistic work in their Chinese and Tibetan versions while the Sanskrit original has been lost. The Journal Asiatique (Vol. CCXIV, No. 1) contains a French translation of this work with copious extracts from the commentary of Vinītadeva under the joint efforts of Mr. Susumu Yamaguchi of Japan and Henry Meyer of Paris. For increasing its usefulness, it was felt necessary to have the treatise reconstructed into Sanskrit along with an English translation. Paņdit Aiyaswami Sastri who is eminently fitted for the task, kindly undertook to prepare and edit the work and has now carried it through to a successful completion. In the B present edition, he has incorporated all the salient features of the French translation including the extracts from the commentary of Vinītadeva and has also gone much farther. The Commentary of Dharmapāla in the Chinese version of I-tsing has been rendered into both Sanskrit and English and incorporated in this edition. It is noteworthy that this Dharmapāla is earlier in point of time to Vinītadeva. He is further stated to be different from his South Indian namesake who lived near Negapatam. Valuable information on Dinnāga is also presented in the Editor's preface. It is hoped that the 'Additional Notes' and four Appendixes will be helpful to students of research on the subject. The need for a reorientation of Indological studies from the point of view of cultural contact with the Far East and China, has not yet been adequately provided for in our country. Only a few institutions and Universities have made provision for the study of Tibetan and Chinese Literature and fewer still for original research. It is earnestly hoped that our Universities and other cultural centres will realize the imperative need for providing for this branch of study as early as possible. A chair in each University to promote the study of the cultural contributions of the literature of the Far Eastern countries may well be expected to open up new and fascinating fields of research. It is with great pleasure that I record here our obligations to Pandit N. Aiyaswami Sastri for placing his most valuable and scholarly services at the disposal of the Library, freely and generously.

PREFACE THE Alambanaparīkņā is one of the smaller treatises on the selected subjects composed by Acārya Dinnāga, the father of mediæval Indian logic. The treatise, as its title denotes, starts an enquiry about the true nature of the alambana, object of consciousness. The author, after a thorough examination of the standpoints of the Realists such as Vaibhāșikas, Vais'eșikas and others who hold the external things to be real, and proving their views untenable, establishes that the alambana, as it appears to us, is unreal and that consciousness alone is real--a dogma which has been held by his predecessors, Asanga and Vasubandhu, two eminent teachers of the Yogācāra school of Buddhism. The main contribution of Dirnāga to that school in his present treatise lies in putting the dogma on a logical basis. This position of the author provoked a vehement protest from the dialecticians of the opposite camp, more specially Kumārilabhaſta and Sankarācārya, two great thinkers and up-holders of the Brāhmanical tradition and culture. According to Yogācāras, only the pure consciousness appears into subject and object; and there exists, for them, nothing external apart from sciousness. What causes consciousness to arise is only its part known as grahyabhaga, knowable aspect, and CON- X11 the same is regarded as the object-cause (alambanapratyaya). The opponent asks : " How can a part of consciousness and appearing simultaneously be a condition to the consciousness itself ?” Dinnāga answers this question in two ways. The first answer is: It is, though simultaneous, a condition, because it is associated invariably with consciousness : प्रत्ययो ऽव्यभिचारित्वात् सह. The second answer is: It becomes also a condition in succession by transmitting the force (sakti): reagona PATEL II (Alam. parikşa, 7 a-b). Both these answers, according to Kumārila, are unsatisfactory and do not stand the strict scrutiny of the logicians. So he takes up the question for an impartial investigation and proves invalidity of those arguments of Dinnāga in these verses : अन्योन्यनिरपेक्षत्वायुगपञ्चापि जन्मनि । मानमेयत्वनास्तित्वं क्रियाकारकवर्जनात् || etc. . न च शक्त्यर्पणद्वारं क्रमेणालम्बनं भवेत् । etc. (Slokavārtika, Sunyavada, 150-158 and 158-167). Similarly Sankarācārya also has, in his Bhāşya on the Brahmasūtras, summarized and demolished the whole structure of Dinnāga's arguments found in the present work; and in doing so he quotes this line : Territarar a alcanhdi (Alam. par. 6 a-b) in the course of setting forth his own siddhanta. Similar criticisms See my paper on Sankarācārya on Buddhist Idealism" published in the Journal of Sri. Ven. Orien. Inst., Tirupati. Vol. I, part 3, pp. 71-85, where I have studied the Bbāşya in the light of original Buddhist sources. 1 92 X111 are also met with in the works of Udyotakara, (Nyayavārtika), Vācaspatimis'ra (N. tatparyaţika) and Sālīkanātha (Prakaranapañcika) and others. I, therefore, need not say how thought-provoking and epoch-making the treatise was in those days. Their arguments and counterarguments will be more understandable, if one could get acquainted with the present work. Further, the work, as it is stated, forms one of the author's original contributions to the logic-minded Yogācāra school of Buddhism. All these circumstances necessitate us to undertake the publication of the present treatise. It is most unfortunate that such an important work should have been lost to us in its original Sanskrit, though available in translations of foreign languages, Chinese and Tibetan. The work has two commentaries, one by Dharmapāla of Nalandā, preserved in Chinese version of I-tsing, and the other by Vinītadeva available in Tibetan version. Mr. Susumu Yamaguchi in collaboration with H. Meyer has translated into French and published in the Journal Asiatique T. CCXIV, (Jan.- March, 1929) this work with copious extracts from the commentary of Vinītadeva, and also edited the Tibetan and Chinese versions of the text. But he did not study systematically the commentary of Dharmapāla. I have restored into Sanskrit this important treatise, text with author's own vrtti from the Tibetan version (Tang. hgyur. vol. Ge, XCV), with the commentary of Dharmapāla from the Chinese version of I-tsing, A.D. 671-695 (Nanjio, No. 1174, Taisho ed. vol. 31, No. 1625) and also translated them all into English. Dharmapāla's XIV commentary is incomplete and abruptly breaks off in the seventh verse. I have added to my English translation of the text almost all important portions of Vinītadeva's comment translated into English from its French translation of S. Yamaguchi and H. Mayer. There are two translations in Chinese of the text, one by Paramārtha (Nanjio, No. 1172, Taisho ed. vol. 31, No. 1619; Shanghai ed. "lai" part 10, pp. 13-14) and the other by Hiuen Tsang (Nanjio, No. 1173, Taisho ed. vol. 31. No. 1924, and Shanghai ed. "lai" part 10, pp. 12-13). Literal Sanskrit renderings of these two versions are made and printed in parallel columns so that the readers may themselves note their differences. For preparation of the edition of this work of Dinnāga, I have made use of the above specified and other reference books of the Adyar Library which is one of the richest and well-equipped Libraries of India, and more specially so in regard to rare collections of Buddhist literature including Tibetan and Chinese. I have only consulted for Dharmapāla's comment the Nanking edition of the Chinese version of I-tsing in my possession. Romanised Tibetan text of the treatise has also been added at the end with a view to facilitating the beginner in these studies. As .no printing facilities are available in the Press, I refrain from publishing any Chinese portion or wordindex in Chinese of the work. A copy of this edition was presented to me by my friend and student Mr. Shilu of China during my stay at Santiniketan in 1938-1939.
ху Before closing this short preface, it will not be out of place to say a few words about the author and his commentators. The following accounts of Dinnāga are narrated by the Chinese traveller, Hiuen Tsang : "Above twenty li further south west of the monastery of Achala near the capital of Pundhra was an isolated hill on the ridge of which was a stone tope where Chenna (= Dinnāga) Pusa composed a Yin-minglun or a treatise on logic. The pilgrim then relates about the circumstances connected the production of this Sāstra in exposition of Buddha's teaching on Yinming. Chenna, the pilgrim relates, after the Buddha departed from this life, came under his influence, and and entered the Order. The aspirations of his spiritual knowledge were vast and his intellectual strength was deep and sure. Pitying the helplessness of the state of his age he thought to give expansion to Buddhism. As the Sāstra on the Science of Inference was deep and terse, and students wrought at it in vain, unable to acquire a knowledge of his teachings, he went apart to live in calm seclusion to examine the qualities of the writings on it and investigate their characteristics of style and meaning. Hereupon a mountain-God took the Pusa up in the air and proclaimed that the sense of Yin-ming-lun originally uttered by the Buddha, had been lost and that it would, that day, be set forth at large again by Chenna. This latter sent abroad a great light which illuminated the darkness. The sight of this light led to the King's request, that Chenna should at once xviii having incurred displeasure of his teacher, he was expelled, and he then joined the school of Vasubandhu. Then he lived for some time in a cave on Bhora Saila in Odivisa, sojourned in Nālandā, where he disputed successfully with several defenders of various schools and afterwards returned to Odivisa. Here he resolved to devote himself to the compilation of a treatise on logic, and the resolve was followed by an earthquake, a great light and a noise in the air. When he began to despair of success in his understanding, Mañjus'rī appeared to him, and roused him to renewed application by advice and encouragement. The king of the country also became of his friend and patron.” (v. On Yuan Chwang's travels in India, Vol. II, p. 212). From the above narratives we may conjucturally construe his life as below: He was born in a Brahmin family in a suburb of Kāñcī, then capital of Pallava kings in South India. Being educated in the orthodox teachings of Brahmins and Buddhists, he joined first the Vātsiputrīya sect of Buddhists. Being unsatisfied with its teachings he started for search of truth and finally came to Vasubandhu in Nalanda and studied with him the logic and Vijñānavāda. He composed there several smaller treatises such as commentary on the Abhidharınakosa, the Alambanaparikşa, Nyayamukha and others. After retirement from Nalanda, he settled in a cave on Bhora Saila in Odivisa and also frequently staying in Achala's monastery (=Ajanta caves) where he composed his Pramanasamuccaya, the standard treatise XIX I on the Buddhist logic. His date may roughly be fixed about 400 A.D., as he is stated to have studied with Vasubandhu in Sri Nalandā, whose life-period has been fixed as c. A. D. 280 to 360 by V. A. Smith (History of India, 3rd ed. p. 328) on the authority of N. Peri (Bulletin de L'Ecole France d'Extreme Orient, t. XI, pp. 339-90). Turning to Dharmapāla, his commentator, should, at the outset, like to stress on one point, namely that he is not to be confounded with a person of his namesake viz., Dharmapāla of the Theravāda school. The latter is said to be a resident of Badaritittha (v. Visuddhinaggaţika, colophon) which is simply stated in the Sasanavainsa to have been situated in the country of Damila, not far from the island of Ceylon (P.T.T. edn. p. 33). However, the latest Archaeological finds help us to identify it with some place near Negapatam, a small seaport town in South India. The present commentator, Dharmapāla is nowhere mentioned to have been connected any way with Badaritittha. He, on the other hand, is stated to have fled away from Kāñci towards the north in his youth and remained there until his death. I have discussed at length all the points relating to the persons and dates of these two Dharmapālas in a separate paper entitled "On Dharmapāla" published in the Journal of Sri Venkatesvara Oriental Institute, Tirupati, (Vol. II, part 2, p. 347 ff.). The following accounts of the life of the present Dharmapāla are narrated by the Chinese traveller :
"The capital (Kāñci) was the birth-place of Dharmapāla who was the eldest son of a high official of the city. He was a boy of good natural parts which received great development as he grew up. When he came of age a daughter of the King was assigned to him as wife, but on the night before the ceremony of marriage was to be performed, being greatly distressed in mind he prayed earnestly before an image of Buddha. In answer to his prayer, a god bore him away to a mountain monastery some hundreds of li from the capital. When the Brethern of the monastery had his story told, they complied with his request and gave him ordination and the king on ascertaining what had become of him, treated him with increased reverence and distinction." (v. T. Watters, op. cit. p. 226). The direction to which he fled on the eve of distress is not mentioned there; yet we may assume that it was North where he spent major part of his life. It is stated that he drew up the following works : Sabdavidyasaiyuktas'astra in 25,000 slokas; a commentary on the Satasāstravaipulya ; on the Vidyamatrasiddhi ; and on Nyāyadváratarkasāstra (= Nyayamukha of Dinnāga). The first of the above four works seems to be the same as the commentary on Bhartſhari's treatise called pei-na, mentioned by I-tsing. Takakusu suggests that pei-na is probably 'Beda' or 'Veda.' But this is improbable, because Bharthari is unknown to have composed any treatise on Veda, and much more so, that Dharmapāla should have commented upon it. So it may, perhaps, be Vyakarana.
XXI This commentary and the commentary on Nyayamukha are not now available. Nanjio's Catalogue mentions four works in his credit: (1) Ālambanaparākṣavyakhya No. 1174, (2) Vidyāmatrasiddhi No. 1197, (3) Satasāstravaipulyavyakhya No. 1198, (4) Vidyamatrasiddhisastra No. 1210. As regards his date, I-tsing A.D. 671-695 speaks of him as contemporary of Bhartſhari who, according to the same Chinese authority died in about A.D. 651-52. It is also believed that he was the elder contemporary of Dharmakįrti who flourished in the middle of the 7th century A.D., and that the latter was the pupil of the former. In the present commentary of Dharmapāla, there are two quotations, both agreeing in spirit with the verses of Pramāņavārtika of Dharmakirti (v. pp. 61, 67). It is not certain whether the former quotes from the latter or they both cite them from a common source.' This Dharmapāla seems to be the same as the teacher of S'ilabhadra who received Hiuen Tsang at Nalandā in 635 A.D. (v. Takakusu, Record of the Bud. Religion by I-tsing, XIV). Prof. H. Li has, however, fixed 539-70. A.D. as Dharmapala's palmy days on the authority of Kwechi's commentary on the Vijñaptimatratasiddhi which is reported to have stated that Dharmapāla died in the 32nd year of his age and was one year younger Instances are not lacking to make us believe that Dharmakirti's Pramāņavārtika contains quotation from some earlier works ; e.g., the verses achfa ofa RH, etc., of the Ratnāvali of Nāgārjuna (ed. G. Tucci. in Journal of R.A.S. 1934, April) found in the Pram. vārtika, L. 221, p. 87. 1 1 xxii than Silabhadra. This Silabhadra, says H. Ui, was, according to the Siyuki of Hiuen Tsang, 30 years old while studying with Dharmapāla, and was 106 years old when Hiuen Tsang met him. The Chinese pilgrim started from China in 629 A.D. and arrived at Rājagpha and saw him in 633 A.D. So Dharmapāla was still living in 557 A.D. These are circumstances which prompted H. Ui to arrive at the opinion in regard to the date of Dharmapāla above stated (v. Vaiseșika Philosophy, p. 10). Though the tradition of Kwechi and others is earlier and more trustworthy, yet it is not supported by I-tsing and the Tibetan authorities, (e.g., Tārānātha, pp. 161-2). Therefore we may, as it has been stated above, assign our commentator to the second quarter of the 7th Century A.D. (cf. Tattvasangraha, Intro. xcv). Scholars will themselves see how lucid, and elucidative his commentary is even in the translation of so linguistically unfamiliar and foreign language as Chinese, and how much more useful purpose would have been served, if the Sanskrit original of it were recovered. It is also equally regrettable that the commentary is incomplete. As for Vinītadeva, the other commentator, we know very little of his life, and we have to content ourselves with what Tārānātha briefly remarks: "Zu der zeit liebten die Zauberkundigen : Konig Sahajavilāsa (Lhan.skyes.rol.pa), in Sri Nalanda der Acārya Vinītadeva (er verfasste einen commenter zu dem Pramāņa in Sieben Abtheilungen), der Sautrāntika Subhamitra and der Acārya S'ilapālita," ... (Schiefner's translation, XX111 p. 197-8). He was a great logician and commentator of his time, and was one of the gems of Nalandā University. He is said to have flourished in about 700 A.D. His commentary on the present treatise is very learned and helpful to understand fully the position and motive of Dinnāga in writing the present work. Almost all important portions of this commentary have been translated into French by S. Yamaguchi and H. Meyer from its Tibetan translation, and again translated into English by me and added as notes to my English translation of the treatise. In concluding the preface I should offer my sincere thanks to the authorities of the Adyar Library, especially the Director, Dr. G. Srinivasamurti, B.A, B.L., M.B. & C.M., Vaidyaratna, and the Editor Dr. C. Kunhan Raja, M.A., D. Phil. (Oxon.) for kindly publishing this book in the Adyar Library Series. I should like also to thank M. Bhikshu Arya Asanga (formerly A. J. Hamerster) Jt. Director and Curator for the Western section of the Library for the help he has kindly rendered by going through some portions of my English translation of the French passages. However, I must say that I hold myself responsible for those portions as printed in this volume. N. AIYASWAMI SASTRI

ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF THE JLAMBANAPARIKSĀ WITH COPIOI'S EXTRACTS FROM VINIT.IDEVA'S CONMENTIRY A TREGTISE ON THE EXAMIXITIVA OI THIC OBJECT-I-CAUSE) ( CUNSCIOL SALSS ADORATION TO ALL BUDDHAS AXD BODHISATTVAS ! THOSE who accept that there exists an external thing which serves as the object-cause (ülambana) of the consciousness of the eye, etc. imagine either atoms to be the ultimate object]; because they serve as causes of the consciousness; or aggregates of atoms; because the consciousness arises representing the image of the aggregates. Now [says the author :) 1. Though atoms serve as causes of the consciousness (vijñapti) of the sense-organs, they are not its actual objects like the sense-organs; because the consciousness does not represent the image of the atoms.
42 ĀLAMBANAPARĪKSĀ [As regards the nature of] the object, [declares the author,] consciousness grasps only the form of its own; because it arises in that form ?. Though the atoms are causes of consciousness, they do not possess the form reflected in consciousness just like the sense-organs. Therefore they cannot become its actual objects (ālambana). Though. aggregates of atoms are alike the image of consciousness, (they cannot become its actual objects ;] because 2a. The consciousness does not arise from what is represented in it. What" object produces the consciousness endowed with the image of the object, is properly said to be the actual The following extracts are translations from the French of Vinitadeva's commentary on the Alambanaparikṣā. They are first translated into French from the Tibetan version of the commentary by Mrs. Susumu Yamaguchi and H. Meyer, and incorporated into their French translations of the Alambanapariksā published in the Journal Asiatique, Jan.-Mar. 1929. [The opponent says :) If consciousness were not capable of being what possesses the form of atoms; it could perceive itself. Why will not (then) the atoms, while producing the perception, become the object (vişayır)? The author replies the following. Speaking otherwise, beyond the production of the form of object, consciousness cannot conceive the object (vişaya). * That is to say, if a consciousness does not manifest itself under one form particularly adapted (pratiniyata) to the atoms, how can it conceive their proper existence ? (And] if it does not conceive (the atoms), how can they (atoms) become the object ? 'Though (the organ) is the cause (that produces consciousness), it is not capable of being the object itself ; because the consciousness which is born of this (organ] does not grasp the proper nature of the organ. • In order to refute the opinion of the opponent who maintains that the aggregate is the object (artha), the author says the following. * [The opponent asks :) When one understands that (the representation is not produced by this aggregate, why could not 1 ENGLISH TRANSLATION 43 object(ālambana) of the consciousness; because that alone is spoken of [in the S'āstra] as the productive cause of consciousness. But the aggregates of atoms are not so (i.e. do not give rise to consciousness); lu 26. Because they do not exist in substance just like the double moon", The double moon is perccived (by a man] on account of defects of his sense-organs. But [this perception is not produced by the double muon, as] there exists no object like the double moon. Similarly the aggregates of atoms do not exist in substance and cannot act as causes of consciousness. Hence they are not its actual objects. 2c-d. Thus both the external things are unfit to be real objects of consciousness. this (aggregate] be the perceivable object (ālambana)? The author replies the following. When consciousness occurs according to the form of the object and this object produces consciousness, this object (urtha) is capable of being the perceivable object (alambana). The following is reply to the question: Why is that which produces (consciousness) only the perceivable object? "The S'āstra explains further that this object (artha) which is the cause (hctu) of the production of the mind and mental things (cittacaitta) and which gives the designations (ryavahāra) to this object (artha) when the mind and mental things have been produced, is (precisely) the perceivable object (alambana). This is reply to the question : \l'hy is not the aggregate what produces (the representation) ? "For example, since a second moon does not exist in substance (dravyatas), it is not capable of being the object (bhāva) of the cause of the perception (jñāna) which appears as if it is a second moon : in the same way the aggregate is no longer the cause of the perception which appears as if it is (the aggregate) itself.
44 ĀLAMBANAPARİKSĀ The external things, atoms and their aggregates cannot serve as the actual objects of consciousness, as both of them are defective in one or other respect. 3a-b. "Some [ācāryas) hold that the combined form of atoms (sancitakara) is the cause of consciousness. All" things are possessed of many forms; they are pcrccived in one or other form of many. Even in atoms, therefore, therc cxists the aspect which produces the consciousness possessed of the combined form ". That is, (1) when, for the thesis of atoms, though there is causality (hetutva), there is no form (ākarū), and (2) when, for the thesis of aggregate, though there is form, there is no causality. Having thus refuted these two theses, the author examines a third thesis of some of the advocates of the external things (bahyārtha), vis., Vägbhata, etc. What does it matter what exists in atoms, they all exist substantially (drar patas). Therefore, since they exist substantially, the state of combination (sancitükāra) is capable of being itself the cause of knowledge (vijñāna). The atoms are thus the object (vşayu) in another manner. [The author asks of these opponents :) Is it not that the character of atoms is well-known to be very subtle? (Now] where is found in these (very subtle atoms) such a state of combination (sancita-kāra)? How can there be two contradictory characters in a single (thing)? [The opponents reply :) All the material things are composed of four great elenients (cuturmahābhūta) and since these latter possess the characters of colour, of odour, etc., there is what possesses several characters. Just as there are several characters in the atoms which are composed of four great elements, so also there are several characters in the state of combination. Thus all things have several characters, but one cannot see all of them at the same time. Because their powers being differently affected, the organs cannot cognise all the objects (artha) at the same time. Having proved that in the atoms there is the combination, one, further proves that in the atoms there is the cause which 15 ENGLISH TRANSLATION 45 3c-d. The atomic form does not become the object of consciousness just like the attributes such as solidity, etc. Just as the attributes, solidity and others, though existent in atoms, are not perceived by the visual consciousness, so also the atomic form ". ta-b. In that case, the different] perceptions of a pot, cup, etc. will be identical". Though the atoms of a pot are greater in number and that of a cup (less], there exists no distinction whatever amongst the atoms ". 1: produces the perception manifesting itself as if it is a combination. It is, one asserts, the two parts of the perceivable objects (alamba. nasya duibhiga) which lack in the two (previous propositions. When one says that the existence of cause produces the perception, he asserts the causality. When one says that what manifests itself as iſ a combination (produces the perception), he supposes the form, and he proves the reality (astitva) of the state of combination. If there is in the atoms the state of combination which is their gross character, how can one call them atoms? (The opponent continues the following). "It is so because the powers of the organs are differently affected (pratiniyata). Likewise, though there are atoms) they are no longer (capable of being object of the visual perception). The author, wishing to refute the third proposition, asks: What state of combination do you want to assert in the atoms?, (and he adds :) In all cases, it is well-known that the vase and cup, etc., are combinations (of atoms). In such case, what state exists in the atoms ?. If you say: "It is the state of vase," the perception of vase will arise in all the combinations of the cup, etc. If you say: "It is the state of the cup," the perception of the cup will arise in all (the combinations of the vase, etc.). Therefore the (different) perceptions (orthagbuddhi) called in certain case" perception of the vase and in some other case perception of the cup" will pot arise. *"The opponent says: With regard to the vase, atoms are numerous; with regard to the cup, they are a few; one recognises 9 46 ALAMBANAPARIKSA 4c. If [the opponent says that] the perception differs in accordance with differences in the forms of the pot and others; If you think that the parts of the pot, etc. neck, etc. (and that of the cup] are different, whereby these differentiating clements differentiate their respective cognitions. True, this differentiating element exists in the pot, ctc. 4d-5a. But it never exists in the atoms which exist in substance, because the atoms are absolutely identical in their dimensions , Though » the atoms are different in substance, there exists absolutely no distinction in their atomic size (pärimandalya). 6 equally atoms either many or a few in other cases; therefore there exists a distinction (vis eşu) of perception made by "many" a few". The author replies : The distinction in the perception (buddhi. rişcsa) is not capable of being made by "a few," or many": for though in the vase there are many atons and la few] in the cup, houcver therc is, when the question is the character of atoms, no difference which exists in itself. Therefore it will happen that in the case of numerous atoms, 'one will have a large ressel, and in the case of a few atoms, one will have a small one ; but it will not happen that in the same state of combination the perception of the vase will arise in the case where there are many atoms, and that the perception of the cup will arise in the case where there are a few. The difference is not found any longer in what is called the exiguous sphericity (pārimāndalya) of atoms. » The opponent asks: Is it not that the atoms of the vase are precisely of one substance (dravya) other (than the cup), and that the atoms of the cup are also of one substance other (than the vase]? And how can one say that there is no difference in measure ? The author replies the following. The difference in form does not reside in the atoms. Just as whatever they may be and however numerous they may be, they all exist in the substance, so whatever may be their measures, the atoms are all of an exiguous sphericity, and this spbericity of the atoms is 1 ENGLISH TRANSLATION 47 Now, 56. Therefore the differentiation goes along with things substantially non-existent. The difference in forms lies only in the empirical things," but not in the atoms *. The " pot and other things are only empirically true. 5c-d. For, if you remove one by onc thc atoms [of the pot, etc.] the perception illuminating the image of the pot, etc. will immediately vanish away. Even if that which is connected with them (sambandhin) is excluded, what substantially exist, do not ccase to produce their own cognitions, as for example, the colour (bluc,] * etc. precisely their unique character. Therefore how could one diſſerentiate the perception [by means of) the difference of atoms? One will assert to this that the state of combination is gross. since the atoms exist in substance, they ought to exist in "being which has no extension ", otherwise, if they had extension (digblāga), they would not be capable of existing in substance. Therefore, since the atoms are not extended, wherefrom comes the difference of arrangement ? Having thus refuted the difference of forms of atoms, the author concludes the following. Because they are extended. Because they are not extended. According to the Vais'eşikas, the vase, (cup), etc. are substantially existent. If the Vaisteșika asks: How do you know that what are called vase, (cup), etc. exist by convention ? The author replies the following. * (The Vais'esika continues :) If one would exclude ſentirely) the atoms one after another, the perception which possesses the representation of the vase, etc. having not arisen, how might it result form this that the vase, (cup), etc. might exist conventionally? The author replies the following. * If the vase, (cup) etc. were substantial beings, if even what is connected with them, was entirely excluded, they would not cease (to produced the perception (of colour, etc). [The Vais eşika replies :) If one excludes entirely the atoms one after another, the cohesion (samyoga) which produces (ārambha) 7 21 48 ALAMBANAPARIKSA It is ", therefore, rationally deduced that the objects of differcnt sensual cognitions do not exist externally. 6a-c. It" is the object (artha) which exists internally in knowledge itself as a knowable aspect and which appears to us as if it exists externally. Though the external things are denied, what exists internally in knowledge itself [i.e. its knowable aspect] the substance, being destroyed, and (consequently, if) the vase is destroyed, is it not that the perception does not arise any more? What prevents the vase, (cup) etc. from being existent (substiantally] always (san'adu) and wherever this may be (sar. vatra) (without their destruction) (The author replies :) If the vase and other substantial things formed of parts (avayaridrarya) exist beyond the atoms, when one says that the vase, (cup) etc. are constituted by atoms, is he willing to say (1) that the atoms exist in proper being as numerous as they may be, or (-) that they exist partly? In the [second] case, what is beyond the elements that produce one whole (arayavin) exists by means of a single element of this whole owing to which this (whole) is going to exist there ; if (as in the first case) what is beyond the constituent elements does not exist that is going to exist in (its) proper nature (svarīpena) howerer numerous the atoms may be ; thus, the atoms as numerous as they may be, become one whole: vase, (cup,] etc. consequently, when the unity component (that is to say the atoms) of the whole is destroyed, this whole does not exist any more substantially ; because if it existed again, one would assert simultaneously several contradictory states (bhāva). Having thus proved that three propositions are not capable of [demonstrating] that the external object is the perceivable object (alambana), [the author says) in conclusion : Since the atoms are not capable of being the perceivable object, therefore, etc. "Having thus refuted the principal doctrines of other schools whose proposed theories could be destroyed by means of wellestablishod reasonings, the author, now, wishing to establish his principal doctrine on the perceivable object, says the following. The opponent says: If there was no external object, is it not true that there would not be any conditional cause (pratyaya) of the perceivable object of consciousness? (The author replies :) Here, one is not in the error of non-exis. tence of the conditional cause of the perceivable object; for, ENGLISH TRANSLATION 49 and appears to us as though it is existent externally, serves as a condition of the actual object (alambanapratyaya) (to consciousness"]. 6c-d. Because consciousness is the essence (of the external object] and that [object essence of which is consciousness) acts as the condition [to consciousness]." The internal consciousness appears as [manifold external] ohject (artha) and also arises from that [objective aspect of its own"]. Thus the internal consciousness is endowed with two parts (i... image and cause) (which circumstance is absent in all the previous propositions) and therefore what exists internally in the consciousness (i.c. the objective aspect) is the object condition (ülambunapratyaya) to the consciousness. If only the objective appcarance of consciousness is cxperienced, [it will be a part of the consciousness and appearing simultancously with it). How a part of "For example, for the eye-diseased person (taimirika), appearances of hairs, flies, etc., appear in the perception with the forms of hairs, fies, etc., (real). Likewise, since the knowable aspect (grālijā-bhāga) is capable of being characteristic of the object (artha), one calls it the conditional cause of the perceivable object (alambana). "Ths opponent asks again : Then how could the knowable aspect be the characteristic of the perceivable object? The author answers the following. And also because, thanks to the maturity of impregnations (vāsanā=perfume) frequently repeated of the blue, yellow, etc., the perception (pāna) arises in possessing the characteristic of the blue, yellow, etc., this characteristic is the conditional cause of con. sciousness. * Mrs. S. Yamaguchi and H. Meyer, probably on the authority of l'initadera, translate this passage thus: As consciousness, (through the characteristics of the object (artha) (which exists internally (.e., subjectively) (=the knowable aspect) possesses the characteristic of this object, this characteristic existing, the consciousness arises. can 50 ĀLAMBANAPARĪKSĀ consciousness and appearing simultaneously be a condition to the consciousness [itself] ? 70. [Though the external object] is only a part [of the internal consciousness,]it is a condition (pratyaya) (to the consciousness), because it is invariably associated with the consciousness. The objective aspect of consciousness,] though arising simultaneously with it, becomes condition to the consciousness] which is produced by other conditions]. "Logicians (naiyāyika) say as below' : The possession of existence (bhāra) [by existence] and of non-existence (abhāra) [by non-existcnce] is the characteristic sign of successive productions of the cause and result, [this result] possessing the cause." [The opponent says :) In all cases, one comprehends that what is perceivable internally existent (i.e., subjectvely) in the con. sciousness, be thus the appearance itself ( what appears). But, he will say, if this perceivable object (alambana) appears as an appearance designed (dessinée) by the character of what is perceivable Greyākāra), this perceivable object will be what appears at the same time as a part of this (appearance). How could (such an appearance) be conditional cause (pratyaya) [of the object perceivable by the consciousness)? If it was possible, this would be oneself made by oneself" or, the knowable aspect (grähyabhāga) would produce the knowable aspect (grāhyabhāga); horns of the right and left of the ox would themselves produce one by the other; this would be a formidable error (atiprasanga) [there). "[To this objection the author replies the following). » [The opponent says :) By means of discrimination of parts, it would be possible that oneself makes oneself, how would it be possible that it is what possesses the determinate cause (nimitta) without the confusion between the being of cause and of its result ? The author replies the following. " That is to say, at the moment when the knowable aspect exists, the perception exists also; when it does pot exist, (the perception) exists no more. Consequently these two [existences) which arise simultaneously are capable of being the cause and its result, ENGLISH TRANSLATION 51 Or," 76. It becomes condition also in succession by transmitting the force " (sakti). It is also possible successively that the objective appearance of consciousness (arthavabhasa), in order to give rise to a result homogeneous with itself, makes the force (sakti) seated in the [storc-house) consciousness, and it is not contradictory" (to the reasoning). "Having thus explained that the existence (bhāva) of the object (visaya) and the existence of that which perceives the object (vişayin) exist at the same time, the author, now, explains that the existence of the object (vişuya) and the existence of that which perceives the object (viseyin) arise also successively (kramena). *: When the knowable aspect disposes (dispose) the dominant force, it objectivizes itself into a proper being which produces successively [consciousness], for, while destroying itself, this knowable aspect deposits at this moment its dominant force on the Alayavijñāna. If therefore this dominant force produces ac. companying factors (sahakurin) at the second moment, it will produce a consciousness homogeneous with (the dominant force), but at this moment only. If the [dominant force) at this moment, does not produce the accompanying factors, when they arise in the third, fourth, or no matter what instant, this [dominant force), they having matured, wiil produce the same consciousness as this. When one has this comprehension, he has no more difficulties oneself is made by oneself" or "they arise at the same time" and others. Thus this blue and other (colours), the characteristics of the knowable aspect, which existed in the precedent perception produce the following perception which will have the characteristics of blue, yellow, red and other [colours). The opponent says: If the dominant force (sakti) produces the perception Grāna), the dominant force will be precisely the object (vişaya), while the precedent knowable aspect will not be the object. [The author replies the following.) * If the dominant force is not determined (vyavasthita) [to the action) by the knowable aspect, this dominant force will not produce any more such perception. Consequently, since the perception 52 ĀLAMBANAPARĪKSĀ [The opponent says :) If only the self of consciousness constitutes the object-condition ; how should we explain [the saying that] the visual consciousness arises depending upon the che and [form" (riīpa)] ? (The author replies :)" 7c-d. What is the sense-organ is (nothing but] the force itself [in consciousness) by virtue of its acting simultaneously [with the object] as an auxiliary cause (sahakarin) [for raising up of consciousness). Thc" scnse-organs are inferred from the nature of] their results to be only the forces of consciousness, but never constituted of matters." which is born of the dominant force, is also product of the knowable aspect, there is no any contradiction (rirodha). [The idea that the interior) possesses two modalities is precisely possible according to the former proposition (pakşa), for, the knowable aspect producing the perception similar to itself, (the interior) possesses two modalities. " It is so because, the eye acting simultaneously with the force which had already appeared, had produced (visual] consciousness. But if the interior form had not appeared previously to the eye, how could it produce the visual consciousness in acting simulaneously with the interior form? "If the organs are made by elements, (as the Sarvāstivadins assert,) there will be this difficulty raised by the opponent, but in our opinion, the proper nature of the dominant force (sakti) which one believes as the organ itself and which acts simultaneously (with the object (vişaya)] is precisely the organ. Therefore, for us, just as the form is interior, the eye also is an interior proper being. "[The opponent asks :) How could one know that the organ is the proper being of the dominant force? [The author replies the following **For, one could infer merely some cause in considering the result, but one could not infer the genus (riseşa) of the cause. For example, one could infer the fire on merely seeing the smoke, but one could not infer the genus of the fire and say if these are of herbs, of leaves (that burning]; likewise, one could, solely by the ENGLISH TRANSLATION 53 . 8a. That force is not contradictory to the consciousness." That force be in consciousness, or in its self which is of indescribable nature; there "is no difference in production of the result. 86-d. Thus" the objective aspect (vişayarupa) [of consciousness) and the force (sakti) [called fruit characteristic of consciousness, make inference on the cause, but one could not deduce the genus of the cause, that is to say that wluch has been made by the elements, etc. "The opponent says: The dominant force (sukti) depends on the possessor of that force (suktimull; for, without basis (utharu), the dominant force is not capable to exist. The possessor of the force (saktat) is one of the organs: now this (organ) itself has been constituted by the elements. The author answers: If one considers the representation (rijapti) of consciousness, (the conception] of one basis for the dominant force is not contradictory. This being admittcel, it one basis is necessary, the consciousness (vijna) itself is capable of being this basis (israra): for, in the consciousness, there is al proper being which knows the object and (at the sanie time) a proper being which know's itself (svasamtcdana). 'The opponent replies: while the dominant force residing in this organ] inade by the elements, produces one fruit different [from that of consciousness) the dominant force residing in consciousness produces (in ils turn) one fruit different (from that which a compound of elements would produce). (Now, you assert that the organ consists in the dominant force (and) however the fruit of elements and that of consciousness are different: the organ does not reside thus in the dominant force, but it is necessarily composed of the elements, thus the dominant forcc would be capable of being sometime in consciousness and sometime in the proper naturc inexplicable (anirdes'ya) (that is to say in the organ). The author replies: There is no any difference in the production of the fruit; for, in all manner (sarvathā), to see the form, [to hear the sound, etc. are simply productions of the dominant force. "[The opponent asks :) Then what is thus the cause of the dominant force of the organ ? The author replies: Just as consciousness arises from the dominant force of the organ, so this dominant force of the 54 ALAMBANAPARIKSA sense-organ] go mutually conditioned from immemorial time. Depending upon the force (sakti) called eye, and the interior form (antah rūpa) arises the consciousness which appears as though it is the external object, but it arises undifferentiated from the perceivable object. These two act mutually conditioned without beginning in time (anādikāla). Sometime when the force ſcalled vāsanā] gets matured, consciousness is transformed into a form of object (visayakūralā) and sometime" the force arises from [the consciousness] cndowed with the form of object. The consciousness and force, both may be said to be either different organ arises equally from the previous consciousness which causes the activity (avedha) of the organ, and this previous consciousness arises from the dominant force of the organ still more anterior. Thus, etc. * The opponent asks: Then wherefrom does this dominant force proceed? The author replies: The dominant force proceeds also from the anterior consciousness which causes the activity of the organ; this consciousness in its turn proceeds from a dominant force more anterior, and this same dominant force proceeds from a consciousness still more anterior which has caused the activity of the organ. Thus these two, etc. * Having thus explained that the dominant force of the organ and consciousness are beings (bhāva) of the cause (hetu) and of the fruit (phala), the author, now, in order to explain that the dominant force and consciousness are reciprocally mutual causes and this without commencement in time, says : Sometime, etc. The translation of this passage is done according to Paramärtha. According to l'initadeva, French translators have done thus : Sometime, in (the mind which possesses the form of this (object) it is the dominant force (which is produced). Then at this moment, the cause and its fruit arising reciprocally in an uninterrupted continuity, one says that the time is without commencement.

The treatise on the examination of the object composed by Acārya Dinnaga is completc. 1 The opponent asks : Are the dominant force of the organ and that of the object different from the consciousness or not? If they are different, there is only difference in denominations, but the object is the same ; because lat this moment) one admits (pratijna) an organ and a perceivable object (alambana) apart from consciousness. If they are not different, one could not say that this dominant force is the organ and that this dominant force is the object. The author replies: The dominant forces are the proper nature (atman) of differentiations (viseşa) of a stage (avastha) and they exist conventionally (samurtya); therefore, relying upon the mundane designation (laukikavyavahāra) one could, as he likes, say that (sometime) consciousness on the one hand and (the organ and the object) on the other are of different nature (anyatua) and sometime) of non-different nature (ananyatva). See additional notes. For, thus, some things which exist conventionally are in certain case designated by different denominations; for example, one says "the perfume of the sandalwood " (now, the perfume is not the same thing as the sandalwood) and in some other case they are designated by non different (denominations); for example, one says the vase is in such matter", etc. (now, the vase could not exist beyond the matter which constitutes]. Thus, having demonstrated that the perceivable object (alambana) is truly interior, the author in conclusion, says the following. 8 ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF DHARMA- PĀLA'S COMMENTARY ON THE ALAMBANAPARĪKSĀ In order to light up the wisdom In the vicious-and-dull-minded men, and In order to let them extirpate their evils who spoke, I pay homage to Him and investigate the [true] meaning [of the text]. Some philosophers accept the external things as object-causes of the consciousness of the eye and others. The fruit of investigation comprises the rejection of what is rejectable and the adoption of what is worth adopting; therefore the cause for both is set forth here. The word ' "others" includes the five-fold consciousness which arises having the support of material objects and the senses as accepted by other schools of philosophy, They conceive that the senses are directed each to an (invariable external] real object. But the consciousness born of the mind (as the sixth organ] is not to be accepted as correct; for, it is not directed to an 'Road in the Sanskrit text p. 21, lines 7–9, 79 ani परसंमत सेनियाभयपविषविज्ञानं सहाति ।
DHARMAPALA'S COMMENTARY 57 invariable real object, but to an object which is only conventionally true, for example, the chariot' and the like. Though it may be permitted that the mental consciousness is conditioned by a real object endowed with parts. (avayavin); yet it grasps also an object which is not its own and which lacks a form similar to one reflected in consciousness. But for the consciousness of the eye and others, there is well-known separate object invariably associated with each of the senses. No such fixity of object is arrived at in the case of mental consciousness. Moreover, the Truth in its essence is to be realised inwardly by a knowledge born of the repeated practice of trance, and never becomes the object of the discriminative thought (tarka=manas); and again it appears as though it is perceivable, yet it shines as object only of a supreme knowledge born of contemplating what is heard and what is thought out, [and not at all of the mental consciousness]. Thus the object of the mental consciousness becomes absolutely non-existent. For, this object can be no capable of being conditioncause at the moment of its origination ;' nor can it be so in the past and future moments, because the things of past and future are non-entities just like the uncomposite elements of existence, [ether, etc). For this 3 'Cf. Tattvas. paß. p. 206; Nyāyavārtika, p. 80—1 wbere different explanations are given for rathādivat.

It cannot take place either in the same moment as the sensual consciousness or in the immediate next moment. It is not possible in the immediate next moment, because the object like the colour, etc., has already been vanished away in the immediate next moment. Nor does the object of the present moment become condition to it, because it has been grasped by sensual consciousness.

The denial of extra material object [which may suit to the mental consciousness being gladly admitted, why should we entertain a bias for the mental consciousness alone ?

So also is the case with the mind. [Though] the object (alambana) may be [proved by] the perceptive knowledge, yet, since it consists in the nature of being grasped * (grahyasvabhava), it is absolutely unreal. So we consider it right to reject the nature of its being object (alambanata) and thereby the nature of its being basis (asryayata). However, the force (sakti) which constitutes the sense faculty and which acts simultaneously [with consciousness) will imagin it to exist. An external thing, etc. It is perceived that there is some object other than this (consciousness). This [consciousness) makes known [to us] something opposite [to itself). That something is called object since it is (as it were) capable of being grasped by an entity other than itself. How could one say that something (e.g. perception) depends upon mere collocation (samagri) ? For, the collocation is not properly a substance. [If one argues that we should accept that principle in accordance with the Tathāgata's teaching in respect of the two-fold Truth, failing which] the Tathāgata's Truth will be far amiss from correctly understood. This argument goes by itself against the reasonings preceding and *Cf.

For, I have accepted that it depends upon a substance (dravya) as well as collocation (samagri). Now it follows that even if some other objection is raised, that also may be taken to be answered. They postulate the subtle atom Though the subtle atom perishes as soon as it appears, yet two substances serve as a cause, but not collocation [of atoms). For example, things, colour and others, though they are simultaneously present before the senses, become objects (only of their respective senses] without any confusion on account of the fact that the faculty of grasping a particular object is fixedly assigned to each sense. All substances are perishing, yet the double" atom which is capable of existing [at the time of grasping] serves as the objectcause. 11 Because the atom serves as cause for that." The word "that " means the consciousness of the eye, etc. It arises on a contact [of the sense-organ] with the object constituted of parts. So say some [Acāryas) : Among the causes, that which acts as the productive cause becomes its actual object."

"Or some others postulate the aggregate of atoms" The advocates of this doctrine say that the aggregate formed of atoms serves as the actual object of consciousness. "Because consciousness arises representing the image of the aggregate of atoms." The aggregate is believed to be the actual object of consciousness, since it is born of the aggregate (and endowed with its image). It is as somebody says: "A thing whose form is represented in a consciousness is really its object." Both these disputants say: [Here the following thesis is intended to be formulated : consciousness has an aggregate thing as its object; because it is endowed with the form of that aggregate object). Now, if [the idealist objects that) this reason is invalid and cannot be formulated as such ; for, it lacks an appropriate example just as the second reason which could prove the validity of the first one does. [Moreover, says the idealist, the reason is not recognised by us ; because we do not accept that the image represented in consciousness pertains to an external aggregate thing, nor do we consider real the aggregate apart from its parts i.e. atoms. Therefore we do not have anything external corresponding to the gross form found in consciousness. We may now, answer that] the general quality of atoms (paramānusamanyalakşana) while acting as actual We may conveniently read in Sanskrit p. 23, line 20, यत् विज्ञानं यदाकारयुम्, etc. Cr.

62 ALAMBANAPARIKSA ; (then] object of consciousness will cause a gross form to appear in it. But if you assume that there is no external thing which may serve as a cause to consciousness there is a fault of the subject of your thesis being contradicted in its own character. So also is your probandum (dharma = sadhyadharma) unknown to us. If you say that what has been recognised by the opponent as an accepted fact, can only be formulated as an appropriate example, then the same is also to be applied in respect of Probandum (you cannot prove by means of inference a thing which is impossible to prove). However, one whose mind is bent on supreme pramana, says: By what reason the two reasons, source of dispute can be made valid, that reason is not to be found because of lack of example which is recognised both by us. Hence in what manner may the representation of the image in consciousness be established as valid reason ?15 Though atoms serve as causes," etc. as accepted [by the advocates of atoms, that is, soine of the early Buddhists and Jains). The atom by itself cannot serve as the cause of the consciousness for the reason that it is not perceived and hence non-existent; Vijnanath Svāthsālambanat is the thesis of the Vijbāna. vādin. This view has been much criticised by Kumärila and Udyotakara ; (S'lokavārtika and N. Vārtika with Tikā and N. Sūtra IV, 2, 26). Read in Sanskrit p 24, line 4 : afin Eperjantokia:efta 1791 referentemente Read in Sanskrit: arytm total 15 DHARMAPALA'S COMMENTARY 63 yet the body of atoms does so. However, they become objects mutually unconnected. "Like the senses". Just as a sense-faculty, though it serves as a basis of the association of consciousness, never becomes its object; because it does not bear the image of the sensefaculty; so also atoms. What do not possess the image of consciousness are not considered to be its objects. Therefore it is said : [25] "That is the object " "The form of its own" means the image of consciousness itself. “ Consciousness grasps means it determines." How is it known that consciousness grasps only the form of its own ? "Because it arises in that form." This refers to the mind, [the preceding moment of consciousness). Consciousness arises in a form which resembles the mind. When there is a mutual correspon. dence or co-ordination (sarūpya) between the consciousness and the object-image, then we call it grasping of the object by consciousness. In fact, for you, there is no object grasped beyond consciousness. How could you, then, explain the causality of the object nonexistent apart from consciousness for rising up of its * According to Kāşmira Vaibhāşikas and Bhadanta Vasu. bandhu atoms never get combined, (na spţsanti), see. Additional Notes below. " Read in Sanskrit : स्वसं स्वाकार उच्यते । निर्वायते निवीयते। Cf. Pramaqavār. výtti, p. 230 : aktieri 9 64 ĀLAMBANAPARIKSA consciousness? Yet there is already in the preceding moment the object-image. When this object-image is brought home in the self of consciousness just like an image in the mirror, it is considered that the consciousness has grasped its object, (and also that the latter has produced the former]. The self of the double atom does not represent the image reflected upon consciousness. If it does so, then we may consider the atom also to be its object. "Like the sense organ Though it serves as the cause, it becomes no object. If you accept that whichever is cause, is object, then the sense-faculty also could possibly become object. [It is also not possible to argue that mere causality is not criterion for its being object of consciousness, but a causal element which is endowed with the image felt in consciousness is so; because] it has already been stated that the reason, the possession of the image in consciousness suffers a fallacy of its being not established. Thus we have to concede that the mind, i.e. the preceding moment of consciousness serves not merely as cause [of the following moment of consciousness), but it appears both as the sense-faculty as well the image of the object. If you establish as the cause what has been stated above, id., atoms"; then, atoms being the cause, how does it follow that the same becomes object? [If you say that the causality and objectivity are mutually concomitant and found invariably together! Read in Sanskrit p. 25, line 16: a (au] R, etc. 19 DHARMAPĀLA'S COMMENTARY 65 then, the sense-faculty being the cause, that also will become object. (Because the sense-faculty never becomes object of any consciousness) the said concomitance incurs [26] a fallacy of inconclusiveness. Such being your proposition, we establish this : Because atoms do not possess the form reflected in consciousness," etc. Why is this sentence? It purports to establish our own proposition. One cannot consider one's proposition to be established by merely criticising other's thesis. In order to formulate his own proposition, (Acārya says thus:) thesis : atoms do not become objects of consciousness; reason : because they do not manifest the form found in their consciousness; example: like a sensefaculty. If the above phrase indicates that this is the reason for this proposition, it would follow that the author of the Sastra having first set forth his opponent's proposition, propounds his own one which goes in agreement with his opponent's. And now the author, having paid his attention to the refutation of the opponent's proposition, would exhibit many defects upon it and set it aside ultimately. [In arguing thus] the thesis which never varies that (i.e. reason) will be asserted. Other thesis which always varies (the reason) will be dissented. At the outset the opponent raises an objection (düşana) [to the above proposition] pointing out to its inconclusive reasoning. How false a syllogism you Read in Sanskrit p. 26, line 1: [arre 1] 66 ĀLAMBANAPARİKŞA 11 have formulated ! Even the ordinary folk says that the reason which is found separated from and never associated with the object to be proved (sadhya) is not at all a reason, but such reason gives rise to the doubt as to the existence of the object to be proved. Therefore you should formulate some other syllogism. Your reason “The atoms do not possess the form reflected in consciousness may sometimes exist in the atoms whose innate natures are undetermined. But the resolve is not correct that consciousness always arises in co-ordination with the image (of the object]. Therefore there is no room for your determination that the atoms do not possess the form reflect. ed in consciousness. It ought to be stated on the other hand, that they are of indeterminate natures. However, this much is certain that what produces consciousness does not become its object just like the atom of sensefaculty. There are well-known other different causes which produce the visual consciousness; none of them makes known to us the innate natures of atoms, because consciousness never exhibits their forms. What has been stated in respect of the sensual consciousness may also be equally applied to the other types of consciousness. The sense-faculty given above as example is in fact stated with a view of particularisation (pradars'anartham) and other example may also be obtained by way of implication (arthapatti). Thus the statement of the above reason also becomes useless. [27] [The author replies :) Tbe atom, though it functions as cause, becomes no actual object of consciousness, DHARMAPĀLA'S COMMENTARY 67 and with this intention the above statement was made. It is so lest the sound and other atoms should cause to raise up the consciousness of other sense-organ. Someone says: In the self of consciousness the gross form is not perceived; hence it is not object of itself" just like the atom of the sense-faculty. Because the theory that the image of consciousness is due to the bring. ing home of the real object-image upon consciousness is not reasonable, the saying that no gross-form is perceived as appertaining to consciousness is very appropriate. Thus we have spoken that atoms are not objects of consciousness." The reason for this is that they do not possess the form (that is experienced in consciousness) and that the hypothesis that they are its objects is not well proved by any means of knowledge (pramana). If so, [the opponent says,] then, let the aggregate of atoms be its object. [That could not be possible.] If you, (says the author,] desire to prove your proposition on the ground that all things spoken of (in the world) are established (as real); [then, I may reply that] your reason is not an established one; this will be a true logic. “Though the aggregate possesses the image of consciousness". Cl. Pramaqav. výtti, II, 211 : dio a a at Edwiek sial- " It is not clear what the author has replied in regard to the fallacy of reason that has been pointed out by the opponent.
68 ALAMBANAPARIKŞA And it may become object; yet it does not act as its cause. For, consciousness does not arise from the aggregate. Aggregate-consciousness bears a form (similar to) the aggregate. But it does not produce consciousness. How can this be the cause for it? Since it has no characteristic of an object (alambanalaksana), it could not (be proved to) exist. As regards the nature of what has been previously spoken of, i.e., atom, it lacks the form felt in consciousness. What is, then, characterised as object ? "Every object which necessarily produces the consciousness possessed of the image similar to itself (i.e., the object), is said to be its proper object": [28] In accordance with the process of arising of] the object-consciousness, [we say that] what is a productive cause of consciousness, that is only its object. Somebody says : Every object necessarily is the cause of the mind and mental elements. This object having produced (consciousness) is spoken of as if it was really grasped [by its consciousness) and then it was always designated as its actual object. What object possesses the two-fold characteristic (i.e., causality and form) that becomes object. When there arises the fact of production, [the talk of it as) object (alambana) also arises. It is said in the scripture : When this fact arises, (or exists), this (other) fact also arises. This formula refers to the theory of dependent causation.
DHARMAPĀLA'S COMMENTARY 69 Since what is the productive cause for that consciousness is a condition for production, we assume that this is a thing [to serve] as object. At the first sight of a thing only the thing-in-itself (svalakşana) is perceived and nothing more; so we do not call the more (i.e., generality) as object (alambana). "The aggregate of atoms does not produce consciousness; because it is not an entity in substance". The aggregate is not a real entity; because it cannot be described either as different from or as one with its constituents. Whichever is nonentity has possibly no efficiency of producing any result. " Like the double moon ". The second moon does not cause to raise up the consciousness of the second moon (as it does not exist in substance]. If so, what is the cause of representing that image (in consciousness]? " Because of the defect of the senses". When the eye has its sight disturbed by cataract and other diseases, then the appearance of the double moon appears and that, too, not as a real entity. [29] “The double moon-cognition has not an object, though the image of the double moon is reflected in it". The double moon does not become object of its consciousness though the latter is endowed with the image of the double moon; because this does not produce consciousness.
70 ĀLAMBANAPARIKSĀ 'Similarly the aggregate, as it does not exist in substance, does not act as cause for its consciousness ". Since it is not a real entity just like the double moon, it proves certain that the aggregate is not at all the cause. Hence “It does not become object." Here again the word the double moon" is repeated. The example of the double moon, it is to be understood, shows the reason, the possession of the image [by consciousness] to be an inconclusive one. The existence of an object for every consciousness can also be achieved through a common logic; hence your proposition involves the defect of contradiction. [This argument is not valid ; for] the visual consciousness arises through the eye (only), but neither through the aggregate such as a patch of blue, etc. nor through the atom; since the consciousness is not produced by both of them just like the consciousness born of the senses other the eye. This example is acceptable to all. So nothing else is to be mentioned. The example, "the double moon" does not exist in substance, hence that, having the nature of uncausal object, proves the same (i.e. absence of the cause for the aggregate-consciousness). Though the double moon-consciousness is endowed with the image of the double moon, there is no real object [corresponding to it]. The expression also happens even in the absence of its causal object.
DHARMAPALA'S COMMENTARY 71 If you ask me : Well, there exists no second moon; how does one directly perceive the two images of the moon ? Let me explain this. Because of some potent force (sakti) laid down within consciousness, it appears as though it is the consciousness endowed with the image of the second moon. Just as a man, while asleep, dreams that he actually sees many objects, and also imagines in dream that he discharges so many false acts; so also he imagines another moon upon the single moon. [30] Some philosophers say: When the eye-consciousness happens to exist simultaneously [with its alambana] and since it has been criticised that both these under such circumstances, arise in order, i.e. one after the other, immediately after these two images, a mental thought arises murmuring: 'I perceive the second moon.' Some others say: It is due to a mistake in numberº [of the two instead of one) in the moon, that mistake, too, happens out of the defect in the organ of the sight. If you do not admit the proposition of an external object, then the vision of gross form will be merely a perversive thought. [The author says: ] Mental consciousness does not arise immediately after the eye-consciousness and its alambana coming into exisience [as you previously stated), but it does so only simultaneously and depending upon the images of these two. Then, (asks the opponent,] how does an understanding arise that I see the * See Pramāņavārtika, II, 294 : Arai Tha (Foru:) I See Prakaranapaſcikā, p. 38, verses 58–60. M 10 72 ĀLAMBANAPARIKSĀ double moon? [The author replies: If you stick to your view,] tell me : why does not the cognition arise of the double sound at a time immediately after the soundobject and its consciousness being present ? It is also impossible to assume that the mental consciousness arises successively in the case of a man who possesses the organ of the eye in a sound condition. Tell me, on what basis, are accomplished many and different things: the material objects, senses, their consciousness and their cognizable varieties (without intervention of the mental consciousness)? (So we must accept that there also arises simultaneously the mental consciousness by virtue of which we are able to congnize many and varied things.] One who says that I perceive the single moon as double and accepts that there is the external object apart from consciousness, how will that man also explain the mistake in number causing the delusion of the double moon to arise ? [That is to say, he must also resort to the aid of mental consciousness to explain it satisfactorily.] 'As both atoms and their aggregates are defective in one or other respect, they are not real objects of consciousness." The alambana consists in two parts, vis. representation of its own image and causality for its consciousness. The atom lacks in the first part, i.e. its image is not represented in consciousness, and the aggregate is devoid of the second part, i.e., causality. Thus these two defects as bave been discussed, point DHARMAPALA'S COMMENTARY 73 out to the identity between the object and its consciousness. [31] “Some Ācāryas hold that the combined form of atoms (sañcitakara) is the cause of consciousness". In each atom there exists the combined form. That alone is perceived as the gross form in proportion to the number of atoms. That combined forin, too, is real and produces the consciousness of the form of its self; because it exists in substance. " It becomes the actual object "; because it fulfils the said two conditions. This (combined form) is already an accomplished fact. Hence no question arises whether it is the same as the atom itself or not so. “ All things are possessed of many forms ". These atoms themselves are regarded as possessed of atomic form as well as combined forin. How can a single element be described to possess two forms ? All things which are collocations of material elements are considered to be of four great elements, earth, etc. as their essence, and have many forms. They are naturally possessed of distinct forces (each). [For example,] the image of the blue and other colours existing in a substance-element and the same existing in a senseorgan are known to be quite different [from each other). In the atom, among many forms "there also exists the combined form."
74 ALAMBANAPARİKŞA Only this form becomes object of the consciousness of the eye, etc. So it becomes "the direct object of perception ". If so, why do you not say that cognition of atoms is possessed of combined form ? [You admit that) the atom is of combined form. Why do you not likewise admit that its cognition is also of the combined form? Why do you only say: "There exists the combined form in the atom (32] This sentence, having the nature of a sentence formulated to that effect, shows as well that their cognitions are possessed of the combined form of atoms. If so, binary atom has the form of binary atom, how has it combined form ? Only the aggregates of different atoms are admitted in this system of thought; and these aggregates themselves constitute the combined forms. It is for this reason that they are not [considered to be] existent in substance. This point has already been mentioned; why is it repeated again? With some other motive it is done so. [That motive is his :) Though the substance-elements are each different in their nature, yet it is to be understood that this combined form is related to their mere collocation. When we analyse it, no more exists the combined form. Moreover, though all things are regarded only as the aggregates of atoms, still each thing has a relative difference, and we may perceive it in each substance. However, the scriptural passage like "What is material element, blue, (etc.), that is the earth element (brthividhatu)" DHARMAPĀLA'S COMMENTARY 75 is to be interpreted as a sentence intended to demonstrate the Truth. It so, how is it that atoms are not perceived by senses ? and how are they perceived only by the knowledge of Tathatā, Suchness ? [The opponent continues :] "The atomic form becomes no object of the [sensual] consciousness". This does not become object of the sensual consciousness; hence it is beyond the senses. The object which does not fall within the operation of senses, ought to be cognized only by the knowledge penetrating into Suchness. What is the argument for such an assumption? It is simply this : the atomic form never comes within the range of direct perception; just like its solidity and other attributes." Blue and other colours though really existent in atoms, do not become objects of the visual and other consciousness." [33] Because the powers of senses are related to particular objects [only, not to all]. "So also atomic form." This is not contradicted, but consented to by both parties. The opponent objects : Let the atomic form appear as perceptible and not solidity, because they, both differ one from the other in nature. We reply: That property [of atoms) is accepted as probans Since the exact Sanskrit equivalent of the Chinese expression, chi chih is not ascertainable, the passage, garagard. aler: is left untranslated.
76 ĀLAMBANAPARIKŞA 96 which is common to all ten bases formed by the material elements; hence no fallacy of exclusion of reason from the sapakşadretanta. Therefore this formulation [of syllogism) is in no way defective. "[Different] perceptions of pot, cup, etc., will be identical" for you who hold thus, (that is, the things are mere aggregates of atoms). For, consciousness does not differ as its object does not differ; and the sensual consciousness assumes its form in accordance with the object lying ahead (or in front). The opponent asks: How do you know that there is no difference in the object of consciousness ? The author answers : There exists no distinction among the many atoms of pot, cup, etc." [though the number" many" may vary in each case). This sentence means this: Though the atoms in their combined forms become objects of our cognition, yet, while the self-nature of the pot, etc., being cognized, there exists even among the many aggregates of atoms, no such character that can distinguish one aggregate of atoms from the other". Because we do not admit [as real] the combined form distinct in each aggregate, apart from their own real [atomic] forms, the sensual consciousness that has arisen depending upon that form will be identical. It is thereby settled that only the * The prayoga may be like this: pared a forfat: 19 सात् । वरणुन तद्विजातिविषयः । यथा कठिनतादि. Read more in the Sanskrit text, p. 33, 1. 13 above.
DHARMAPĀLA'S COMMENTARY 77 11 self-nature of atoms is object (alambana). And in the undifferentiated form of atoms, there exists no element that causes to produce some discriminating and reinvestigating thought [regarding the differentiated gross form, such as pot, etc.); for, such thought will be a separate one, just as a thought springing up from a blae patch, etc. [That being the case, the discriminating thought of gross form, pot, etc., will arise only when there is present the causal element. That causal element being absent, our idea of gross form is baseless.] If [the opponent says that] the perception differs on account of differences in the forms [of the pot, etc.]." [34] Here “the form means the image that distinguishes itself in each case. The pot and cup are distinguishable in their forms by virtue of their different parts, neck, belly and bottom, etc., and our cognitions differ on that account. The author replies: It is quite true, “but the [different forms] do not exist in substance." No atoms constituting the object cognized by the sensual consciousness, are varied [in their size). Though the aggregates of atoms are true empirically, yet they, being closely analysed, do not fall within the cognizance of senses. (There remain as real only atoms, and never the aggregates.] The (real] objects of cognition (i.6. atoms) which are identical in form, cannot, properly 78 ALAMBANAPARTKŞA speaking, become causes for different forms of cognitions. [The opponent asks:) How do you know that there exists no distinction in form among the atoms? [The author replies :) "Because the atoms are absolutely identical in their dimension". All objects are constituted of parts and these parts necessarily admit of distinction of forms. The proper nature of atoms, however, is devoid of any part and very subtle. Therefore how can we assign to it any distinction of form? Though the pot, cup, etc., are (apparently) varied objects, there exists absolutely no distinction in their atomic nature." For, anything destitute of parts, neither increases nor decreases. [35] "We therefore understand that there is no reality" in the aggregates of atoms. Everything composed of parts, has a form which is attributed to it, and not real of its own; and as such it does not fall within the domain of senses. Thus the opinion has been above criticised after a careful study that the aggregates of atoms tend to show their different real forms. Therefore (different] cognitions of pot, cup, etc., are, in fact, destitute of real objects different (in form] just as the feelings of happiness and misery are. Thus [it is clear that) atoms do not distinguish objects.
DHARMAPALA'S COMMENTARY 79 Nor can the form (perceived by our senses] be proper nature of that object. Or "If the distinction in parts is inferred (lit. spoken of) on account of the distinction in forms." This sentence intends to show that the proposition that nothing that is non-differentiated [in its nature] becomes object incurs a logical fallacy called siddhasadhana, proving of what is alrcady well-known. The opponents hold that the atom is in fact a thing which is not distinguishable in its nature, yet the different cognitions happen on account of differences in forms. We also admit that the atom is an undistinguishable object. Therefore this proposition incurs the fallacy of siddhasadhana . The sentence, “ Because the atoms are absolutely identical in their dimension " shows the conclusion to be invalid that the difference in substances, (i.e., component parts, atoms) causes difference in objects (composed of substances). Or, it makes clear that the cognitions of the pot and cup, etc., do not bear the images of atoms; hence the atoms are not their actual objects in as much as they are not objects of other cognitions ; by "other cognitions" is meant either mental consciousness or one born of other senses; for, a condition of some blue patch being present, the cognition (born thereof) does not *This retort of the siddhasādhanadoşa is not convincing as it stands in the text of the Chinese version. 11 80 ĀLAMBANAPAKIKSĀ 29 bear the image of some yellow patch. Though the qualities of atoms are many, they cannot be differentiated one another in any way; but the sensual cognitions, however, are distinguishable one another in their forms; therefore the forms felt in the cognitions are not of the atoms. [36] Or, we may take that the following idea is intended in the verse : An objection that the atoms are distinguishable by themselves has been put forth and answered in order. If the aggregates of atoms are regarded as having forms other than that of atoms, then it is logically to be established that those forms of the aggregates are not real. There is also some other reasoning to be mentioned here thus : " If those atoms are removed one by one, the perceptions of the pot, etc., do not arise." Things, that we speak of, like the pot, etc., are not real things just like sena, army and other aggregates, so they do not exist in substance. The following is another mode of reasoning: “What objects are not found separated from what objects, that former objects are not differentiated from that ſlatter] objects. [Aggregates are not found separated from atoms, so the aggregates are not to be differentiated from atoms]." The distinguished form {experienced in cognising the pot, etc.,] is other than the one (pertaining to atoms]; * Read in the Sanskrit text, p. 35, 1. 17: CHIQETİ Erasto afa tua, tatananarne PNIS , etc.
DHARMAPĀLA'S COMMENTARY 81 because that cognition experiences the forms of the objects like the pot, etc. This inference contradicts the real state of things. For example, when the soundobject is present, no cognition of a blue patch would arise in us. However, although it may be admitted that the aggregate is grasped and some other thing is experienced ; yet it is absolutely impossible to prove that there is distinction among the forms of atoms. "[lt is the object] which exists internally [in knowledge itself as a knowable aspect." This line establishes what the actual object of consciousness is according to the author. If, in general analysis [of a cognition), there is no object [being regarded as one separate from consciousness]; then it evolves lokavirodha, contradiction with the world-a defect for one's own proposition. For, the scriptures state four conditions (for rising up a consciousness). The word “internally" shows that there is no object-cause apart from the inner consciousness. [37] The word “knowable aspect" shows that the thing in the form of object is consciousness-product (vijñanapariņāma). Thus the idea of the external that exists in consciousness is grasped as an external object. Now the contradiction with the experience of world comes in; for, men of the world all accept the objects as externally existing. Therefore the author says as if it exists externally." The real object, however, does not exist apart from consciousness. Its knowable aspect 'appears to us as if it exists externally."
82 ĀLAMBANAPARİKŞĀ 66 The expression “I see the object externally" based upon wrong belief just as the visual consciousness of the hair-like thing in the sky, etc. "Though the external things are denied." The external thing does not exist in reality, because it is not experienced as such. If we examine it very carefully with reasoning, we do not experience it externally and in its own invariable essence. Though the opponent may admit (a thing] characterised as external and existing in substance, yet it cannot become the objectcause of consciousness. Nor is the form of atoms experienced; because the atoms possess no forms [experienced in our cognitions). [That grahyaṁsa] which appears to us as though existent externally, serves as the actual object-cause." Because (that alone] possesses the form of that (i.c.. object). [To prove the above the following syllogism is formulated.] Whatever thing possesses whatever form, that thing is identical with that form ; for example, the causality is possessed of its own form, [i.e., the nature of being cause; that causality is not distinct from the nature of being cause). Again the author shows some distinct character of the actual object (alambana) when he says: "Because consciousness is the essence of that [i.e., object]," etc. (38] It is clear that the external thing which is an illusion, does not exist as an object. The form of an DHARMAPĀLA'S COMMENTARY 83 II object follows only in comformity with our menta) imagination; and it is not real; for, if that which is imagined is separated from consciousness; there is nothing left in the external. "The forms of the experienced objects do not originally exist apart from consciousness." Hence it is called "the knowable in its essence existing internally". The word "internally" indicates that the knowable does not exist beyond consciousness. The knowable, [externally) non-existent by its nature is regarded as existent internally. " It also arises from that." part of consciousness may arise, sometime from itself, because the seventy-fifth clcment (i.e. consciousness) has a special character. Since no consciousness arises in separation from its object (jſeya), that part (of consciousness] (i.e. the knowable aspect) is produced by consciousness itself, and we need not admit a fifth cause for it. Because (consciousness) is endowed with two parts (i.e. image and cause)." It is clear that it is the actual object and to be shown as a proof (for our proposition] because of its being decisive argument (i.e. its double nature). This object of double characteristic alone is considered to be probans (sadhana). What is the external thing other than [this object], that is not to be regarded as condition-cause for consciousness ; (for example) things Omit the word "pia" in the Sanskrit text, p. 38, 1. 11. 3.1 84 ĀLAMBANAPARİKŞA experienced in dream-thought (cannot at all serve as its causes]. " What is said to be of a double character, becomes a single proof (ekaṁ sadhanam); thus only consciousness (i.e. its knowable aspect) is endowed with the image of object, and also gives rise to another consciousness. Therefore a part of consciousness becomes a single proof (ekam pramanam) on account of its discharging these two functions. Now, though what exists internally in consciousness is admitted (as condition-cause) ; [39] since it has been examined that the external things are of unreal character, there can be no other real character thereof. The object is experienced only in pursuance of our mental habitual imagination. But the image of object is immanent in consciousness itself, and that alone will be logically correct. [The opponent asks :) “How can a part of consciousness and appearing simultaneously be a condition [to consciousness itself]?" (Author replies :] The knowable aspect (grahyansa), as it does not exist without consciousness, gives rise to another consciousness. [The opponent continues :] Now, [you have) a fallacy called self-affecting (svarūpavirodha *); since " Here prayoga may be thus : विज्ञानं स्वांशालम्पनम् । धर्मद्वयवत्वात् । या धर्मद्वयवत् न तत् मालम्बनम् । यया स्वप्नावस्वायां प्रकाशमानोऽर्थः * = Picafa fanfartata: 31 1 DHARMAPĀLA'S COMMENTARY 85 it is yet only a part of consciousness just like its part that grasps. (When it becomes as being grasped,] it cannot at the same time serve as a cause. (We always experience that] consciousness arises as being discoloured by the forms of the external things. The image-part of consciousness springs up simultaneously with consciousness; it cannot act as cause for the latter; because no two things simultaneously arising act mutually as cause and effect; for example, a pair of horns of a cow. Moreover, we do not say that an object is co-existent with its self which is no other than that object. For, the term 'co-existence' denotes some connection between two distinct objects. But you do not admit that there is an object distinct from consciousness. Therefore how can you call such an object co-existent? [The author replies:] It is true. But, as different images (in consciousness) are (experienced], we describe them (as if they are] distinct (from consciousness). We assume that consciousness is possessed of distinctions (in itself] for the reason that there exists the divergence between the perceptible part and image-part (of consciousness). [The opponent continues :) If it is so; then, the nature of being condition-cause (pratyayatva) will [as you assume] constitute what is grasped (grahya). No object of assumed character could be regarded as possessing the self-substance. Now such an object See Parthasarathimistra, Slokavārtikavyākhyā, p. 309; Skrine et qui (V. Additional Notes, last page.)
86 ALAMBANAPARĪKŞA becomes something other than the condition-cause indeed. [The author answers :) This is not contradictory [to our experience]. [The preceding moment of] consciousness, as it has been grasped as a distinct object, is accepted as a condition-cause just like its disappearance of immediate preceding moment (samanantaranirodha) a condition-cause. The moment a consciousness of homogeneous character (sabhāga) disappears, the same consciousness is regarded as cause into four ways.“ Four causes are: hetu, ālambana, samanantara and adhipati.

Alambana stands for alambanapratyaya-So explain the Chinese translators, Paramārtha and Hiuan Tsang. It may also be clear from Dharmapāla's comment, pp. 21-22 above. Alambanapratya is explained by Candrakirti: उत्पद्यमानो धमों येन आलम्बनेन Syed a faqat | Mad. vịtti, p. 77, 2. (Cf. S'ālistamba Sutra : चक्षुर्विज्ञानस्य ... रूपमालम्बनकृत्यं करोति । Ibid. pp. 567,9.) आलम्व्यत- इत्यालम्बनम् ।वि निषार यथायोगमालम्बनम आलम्बनप्रत्ययः सर्वो धर्मः। Madhya. makāvatāra (Sanskrit text) pp. 12, 2. Another interpretation is also given by him : वृद्धपुरुषोत्थानवत् चित्तवेता हेतुत उत्पद्यमाना अवलम्बनयष्टि- gruan ada A4: Ibid. p. 12, 7. According to this interpretation alambana is an element (dharma) by support of which a consciousness arises, that is to say, a supporting element in the process of cognition is ālambana. S. Yamaguchi and H. Meyer, on the authority of the Abhidharmakos'a of Vasubandhu (chaps. I and II, p. 307, 11. 5-6) and of the Trims'ikābhāşya of Sthiramati, p. 21 (निमित्तं तद्- (= विषय) विशेषो नीलपीताद्यालम्बनव्यवस्था- RUTH) translate everywhere the term ālambana as “perceivable object ". And Yasomitra's comment makes the point clearer : यस्य विज्ञानस्य यदालम्बनं तदेव तस्य आलम्बनं भवेत् । भवेत्रान्यदिति pp. 1, 18, 17. P. 3, 1. 1. aft Dharmapāla comments that the five-fold consciousness is meant here. Hiuan Tsang follows him. But, according to Paramārtha six-fold consciousness is meant there with addition of manovijnana. Vinitadeva is said to agree with Para. mārtha bere. 13 96 ALAMBANAPARIKSĀ P. 3, 1. 2. Omit in the Sanskrit text the word "TFT " after तत्कारणत्वान्. P.3, 11. 1–3. Vasubandhu in his Vimsikā and its bbāşya, speaks of three different opinions on the external things: (1) The first opinion is that the object of our cognition is one (eka), i.e. one whole (avayavin); (2) the second one is that it is many, i.e. atoms, and (3) the third view is: it is the collocation of atonis (sanghāta). The first opinion is held by Vaiseşikas. The holders of other two views are not named there (see Appendix A, p. 105 below). According to the commentary of Vinitadeva on the Vimsakaprakarapa as recorded by the French translators, the second opinion, that is referred to by Dišpāga as the first, is that the numerous atoms exist allowing amongst themselves some intermediate space=rdul. phra, rab. phrag. can. de. gnas. du. ma. The third one that is referred to by D. as the second, affirms that the atoms exist without any intermediate space amongst themselves =rdul. phra. rab. de. dag. bar. med. par. gnas ; that is to say, these atoms which have reciprocal support are united=phan. thsun. bltos. pa. dan. bcas. pahi. rdul. phra, rab. de. dag. nid.hdus. pa (French trans., p. 48, n. 3). Again Vasubandhu in his Kosa, says that it is the Kasmira Vaibhāşikas who hold that the atoms exist with some interspace and in close vicinity, (TETRT: Rama:) but do not get combined, and that Bhadanta (Vasubandhu) asserts that the atoms exist without any interspace, and due to this, they are called "combined " (nirantaratve tu sprsta saingna). Compare Tattvasangraha with Pañjikā, p. 197: समानज्वालासंवर्यथा दीपेन विश्रमः । नरन्तर्यस्थितानेकसूक्ष्मवित्तौ तयकता ॥ . . . तथा नैरन्तयणानेमक्ष्मतरपदार्थसंवेदनतोऽयमेकत्वविनमः। See again on p. 552: Bhadanta-Subhagupta's view : Rarografareteari usciterai yang tenant स्थल इति मानसो विनमो भवति । But there is no real combination of atoms (sparso na asti). See Abh. Kosa, Tib. text, pp. 82-3). Both these schools seem to hold that the atoms are direct objects of our cognition. Therefore Disnāga might have included both these opinions in the first of the two. He might have meant by the theory of sanghāta the Vais eşikas' opinion. This may be clear from ADDITIONAL NOTES 97 Vinitadeva's comment p. 47 above. It may also be pointed out here that Kamalasila has recorded three views on the atomic theory (see his Pañjikā, p. 556, 8, and my paper “Sarkara on Buddhist Idealism," published in the Journal of S. V. Oriental Institute, Vol. I, part 2, p. 82.) Jainas are also credited with the opinion that the atoms are direct objects of our perception. (See note 6 on p. 4 above). P.3, 1. 4. A long note has been put on the word " vijñapti" by S. Yamaguchi and H. Meyer. P. 3, 1. 8. According to the Chinese translations, we may read in Sanskrit: afta: era:, etc. P. 4, l. 1. We may read in the Sanskrit a garagrafeneau sa qanta (bsad. pas. so) for 4a: 8 ... Jord According to Vinitadeva pratyaya is meant nimittapratyaya, see French trans. p. 52, 1. 7. Ibid., and p. 43, 2. Dharmapāla also here refers to the Agama, अस्मिन् सति इदं भवति, etc. P.4, 1. 9. $971 Dharmapāla does not give any indication as to who were the advocates of this opinion. Vinitadeva says that this is the opinion of Vägbhata and others—which is not confirmed in Taranatha's Geschichte des Buddhismus (pp. 311-313). Kouechi, the commentator on the Siddhi of Hiuan Tsang presents this third thesis as that of Sarghabhadra, (see La Siddhi, p. 45, and Fren. Trans. p. 52. n. 11). I have already pointed out that Bhadanta S'ubhagupta might be a representative of this view in later period (see note 4, on p. 4 above). The earlier Buddhists, Sarvāstivādins may also be said to have held this opinion. Cf. Tattvasangraha, p. 197: समानज्वालासंभूते यथा दोपेन विनमः। ... तथा नरन्तयस्थितानेकसूक्ष्मवत्पदार्थसं- aandisharafasta: Rata: 1 cp. Ibid., p. 552, Sabbagupta's view: परमाणनामविच्छपवेशानां सजातीयानां युगपद्ग्रहणे स्थूल इति मानसो विनमो भवति । Observe Vinitadeva's comment below: afanlar: = FOTOR: 1 P. 4, 1. 9. 17 = sgrub pa. Hiuan Tsang translates it as pratyaya. But Paramartha explains thus : qua: afaat: 4741 see p. 13 above. Vinitadeva comments thus : hdus. pahi. rnam. pa. rnam. par. ses. pahi. rgyu Nid. hgyur. ro: the state of 98 ĀLAMBANAPARİKŞĀ combination becomes as the cause of the consciousness. (See Fren. Trans. p. 52, n. 12). P. 4, 1. 9. Vinitadeva says that the state of combination is here the gross form, sancitākāra=sthulākāra. See La Siddhi, p. 45. (Fren. trans., p. 53, n. 13). P. 4, 1. 12 ver. 3 a-b. According to Vinitadeva this is the statement of the opponent. Dharmapāla also seems to have meant the same. So we may supply before this the following: सञ्चिताकारः न अण्वाकारः । यदि स्यात्, अप्रत्यक्ष: स्यात् । See Dharmapāla's comment here. But Paramartha and Hiuan Tsang interpret that this is the refutation of the above view by the author. P. 5, 1. 3 ver. 4 c-d. Hiuan Tsang introduces this line thus : चक्षुरादिविज्ञानकारणपरमाणुसञ्चिताकारावादे पुनरस्ति दोषान्तरम् । P. 5, 1. 6. Note Paramārtha and Hiuan Tsang have much simplified this sentence. See p. 14 above. P. 5, 1. 15. See Paramārtha and Hiuan Tsang for clearer interpretation of the passage. Ver. 5 c-d. cp. Nyāya Sūtra, IV, 2, 25: yau faqamang alami गाथात्म्यानुपलब्धिस्तन्त्वपकर्षणे पटसद्भावानुपलब्धिवत् तदनुपलब्धिः । P. 5, 1. 17. According to Vinitadeva, the nature which is capable of being perceived is the characteristic of the object, that is to say, the knowable aspect (grāhyabhāga). (Fren. Traps.) See Dharmapala's comment : शेयपदं ग्राह्यांश: विज्ञानपरिणाम: विषयाकारोऽथों भवति इति प्रदर्शयति । see p. 36. P.6, 1. 1. Here Paramārtha's version agrees with Dharmapāla's comment Ver 7 a-b: quoted by Pārthasārathi Misra in bim comment on Slokavārtika, pp. 311, 312: प्रत्खयोऽन्यभिचारित्वात्सह शकपकमात् । P.6, 1. 8. There are 4 pratyayas, (1) hetu, (2) samantara, (3) alambana, (4) adhipati. Abhidh-koslavyākhyā, p. 18, 22. These are well explained in the Madhyamakavſtti, p. 77. P.6, 1. 9. The following is the Tibetan text: Yod. pa, dati. moda pa. dag. gi. de. dag. Idan, pa. Hid. ni. reyu. dan. abras bu.

Vin. pa., lit. : भावाभावयोस्तद्वत्ता हि हेतु तमत्फलयोः क्रमेण जायमानयोरपि लक्षणम् । Both Paramārtha and Hiuan Tsang are not very helpful in interpreting this quotation. P. 6, 1. 13. This is a quotation from a Sutra. See e.g. Slalistamba Sutra : चक्षुः प्रतीत्य रूपं च क्षुर्विज्ञानमुत्पद्यते. Madhya. vrtti, p. 567, 8 and p. 6, with notes thereon by Prof. Poussin. P. 7, 1. 1. This view is much criticised by Candrakirti. See his Madh. Avatāra, my restored Sanskrit text with Bhāşya, VI, 62 ff. and 57-9. P.7, 1. 4. According to Diināga, the nature of the organ is inexplicable. So he seems to have anticipated all criticisms levelled by Candrakirti against his view that the sense-organs are some forces (sakti). P.7, 1. 7. Cp. Slokavārtika, S'ünyavāda, ver. 17: Bruinigai चैव ज्ञानशकयोरनादिका। P.7, 1. 9. "The consciousness which appears as though it is the external object, but it arises undifferentiated " is explained in the commentary of Vinitadeva thus : ma, res. pahi. don. gyi. mnam. pa. can. gyi, riian. par. s'es. pa=consciousness possessing the characteristics of the object not differentiated. That is, according to the doctrine of those who affirm the external object, the consciousness arises depending upon the object substantially dif. ferentiated. But the school of Vijñaptimātratā does not accept the object substantially differentiated. Vinitadeva, after having given another explanation on the bāhyārthajhāna, says: "Other (school) asserts : It is the consciousness which appears as an inexpressible object. Vinitadeva refutes this assertion in these terms: "But, in this case, there is every necessity to say inexpressible". For, all the proper characteristics are inexpressible. Therefore, if the perception which appears as these proper characteristics, arises, what arises in reality ? (sic). If one says: one could not assert that the perception arises in possessing the characteristic 40 100 ALAMBANAPARIKŞA Qon of the object", then, is it that wbich is not expressible, because there is nothinc, or because it is there justly the proper characteristic ? In all cases, if it is so (1) because there is nothing, this not logic, for one could express the very non-existence. For example, one could express the horns of a rabbit, etc. If it is so (2) because it is justly the proper characteristic, we have just refuted this (proposition, in saying: all the proper characteristics are inexpressible). What Paramartha translates on this subject by: louan che pu ko yen chi hsiang (=imateuren) is justly this last doctrine which Vinitadeva has just refuted." (Fren, trans.) Pārthasărathi Misra has ably presented the standpoint of the Vijßänavādias that the object, blue, etc. is not different from its consciousness, see his comment on Slokavārtika, p. 274. P. 7, 1. 11, and p. 54. 1. 12. After different" and different" Paramartha adds inexpressible" pu ko chouo, anabhilapya, (or anirvācya). One could not find this word either in the Tibetan text or in the text of Hiuan Tsang. But, if one takes account of the phrase of Vinitadeva one could explain why "inexpressible" finds its way in the text of Paramartha. Vipitadeva in his commentary, says: (gal. te. dros. kyi. tshul. dpyad. na. ni. dehi. tshe. nus. pa. rnams. gnas. skabs. kyi, khyad. par. gyi. bdag. Aid. yin. pas. kun. rdzob. tu. yod. pahi. phyir. mam. par. s'es. pa, las. gzhan. Nid. dam. gzhan. ma. yin. pa. Nid. du. brjod. par. bya, ba. ma. yin, no.) "If one examines tran. scendently (paramārthena) the proper nature (of dominant forces), they are then inexpressible whether they are or not of a nature different from consciousness. For, being the proper nature of a characteristic of a stage of forces (sakti), they exist but conventionally" (saktināṁ avasthāviseşātmakatvena samuytisattvat). This explanation signifies : things being not capable of existing in proper nature, one could not give them any designations“ different " or non different", but one could simply call them "different non different" when they are considered as conventional things." or ADDITIONAL NOTES 101 or This is justly the principal doctrine of Nāgārjuna ; for, in the opinion of Paramärtha, one finds always the trace of the ideas of Nāgārjuna rather than in that of Hiuan Tsang. Thus the thesis of a conception "inexpressible" will not be accidental, but rather fundamental. (Fren. trans.) French translators have taken the Tibetan word. “gnas skabs': to be "avzkāsa" and therefore rendered "lieu determine." But the exact Sanskrit equivalent will be here" avasthā "="stage" "condition."

Compare the crittcism of the sixth sense, manas as accepted by Earlier Buddhists and Naiyāyikas, etc. with the verse: न मुखादि प्रमेयं वा मनो वास्तीन्द्रियान्तरम् । अनिषेधादुपात्तवेद-येन्द्रियस्तं वृथा । Cited from Dirnāga by Vācaspati Mistra in his Nyāyavār. tātparyaţikā, p. 97. It is to be understood that the Vijñāna vādins deny only the material character of the manas as accepted by Realists, but do not deny it as such. Note Yasomitra's Comm. : theme para In. fantaszfafiantscyfra Aalung: 1 (Abh. Kos'avyā. p 40, 1. 24). As to the opinion of the Earlier Buddhists, the same authority remarks: तापीया अपि हृदयवस्तु मनोविज्ञानधातोराश्रयं कल्पयन्ति । तथास्यवातावपि विद्यत इति वर्णयन्ति । बारूप्यधातावपि हि तेषां समभिप्रेतम् । आल्प्य इति च ईषद भाल। furcaleta (Ibid.).
102 ĀLAMBANAPARIKSĀ According to the Vaibhāşika-Sautrāntikas, manas is defined by Vasubhandhu as below: जाणामनन्तरातांत विज्ञानं यदि तन्मनः । षष्ठाश्रयप्रसिद्धयर्थ घातवोऽटादश स्मृताः ॥ Abh. Kosa, I, 17. Santarakṣita also explains it in the same manner : चक्षुरायतिरिकंतु मनोऽस्माभिरपीष्यते । षण्णामनन्तरोतप्रत्ययो यो हि तन्मनः ॥ Tattvas. p. 209, ver.631. Speaking of the manas, Prof. Th. Stcherbatsky writes : Yogācāra-Sautrāntikas do not admit manas as 6th organ. The Older Hinayanists reckon 6 organs of senses, 5 outer senses and one inner sense. The Realists, Naiyayikas, Mimamsakas and Säskhyas characterise mind as a 6th organ. The Madhyamikas and Vedantins also do the same. (Buddh. Logic. II, p. 318, n. 9). P. 57, 1. 15 and p. 22, 1. 1. (तर्कागोचरत्वात् ) Cf. Vasubandhu's Vims'ikābbāşya, ed. S. Levi, p. 11. तर्काविषयत्वात् । कस्य पुनः सा सर्वथा गोबर इत्याह । युद्धगोवरः॥ P. 58, n. 5. Tattvas. paijika, p. 825 : यद्यपि तत् (मनः) सर्वविषयम् । तथापि न तस्य स्वातन्त्रबेणार्थग्रहणव्यापारोऽस्ति । अन्धवधिरायभावप्रसाशात् । Cp. Nyayabindutikatippani, p. 27, 1. 1. P. 61, last line. There are two views regarding sanghāta (=paramāņusāmānyalakşaņa), viz. one is held by Kās'mira Vaibhāşikas, and the other probably by other Vaibhāşikas. In his Kosabhisya, Vasubandhu has clearly expressed the former's view thus : काश्मीर[वैभाषिका] आहुः । [परमाणवों न स्पृशेयुः । .. ....सावयवाः प्रसज्वेरन् । निरवयवा हि परमाणवः । तदेवेषां निरन्तरत्वं यन्मध्ये नास्ति किचित् [बालोकादि] । अपि खलु संघाताः सावयवा: स्पृशन्ति" इत्यदोषः । (Abhi. Kosa, Tib. text, p. 82.) a. cf. संघातास्तु परस्परं संयुज्यन्ते इति काश्मीरमाषिका: । His Vimsika bhisya, p.7,1. 10., and p. 106 below, . . .
ADDITIONAL NOTES 103 This sanghäta is, for them, different from atoms (v. Yasomitra's comment : यथा वैभाषिका: कल्पयन्ति । p. 89,1. 20). Other Vaibhāsikas, on the other hand, maintain that the aggregates are not different from atoms : नव परमाणुभ्योत संचाताः। त एव संघाते स्पृश्यन्ते । यथा स्प्यन्ते। (.1bh. Kosa, Tib. p. 83,1. 15). यः परमाणूना संघात: न स तेभ्योऽर्थान्तरम् । (Nimsika bhāsya, p. 7,1. 11 and p. 106 below). According to Dharmakirti, Dirināga pleads for the external reality from the standpoint of the latter Vaibhāşikas. This will be clear from the following extracts : सञ्चित: समुदाय: स सामान्यं तत्र चाक्षधीः । सामान्यबुद्धिश्चावश्यं विकल्पेनानुबध्यते ॥ प्रमाणवार्तिकवृत्ति, II, 194. वृत्तिः । ननु सञ्चितालम्वनाः पञ्चविज्ञानकाया इति सिद्धान्तः । 'तात्काजिना- त्वात् स्वार्थ सामान्यगोचर ' इति चोक्तम् (प्रमाणसमुपये)। अत्राह । अर्थान्तराभिसम्बन्धात् जायन्ते येऽणवोपरे । उक्तास्ते सञ्चितास्तं हि निमित्त ज्ञानजन्मनः ॥ Ibid., 195. वृत्तिः । उक्ताः सञ्चितालम्बनाः [पञ्च] विज्ञानकाया इत्यादौ । ज्ञानजन्मनस्त एव हि निमित्तमुक्ताः तत्रानेकार्थजन्यत्वादित्यादिना । अणूनां स विशेषश्च नान्तरेणापरानणून । तदेकानियमात् ज्ञानमुक्तं सामान्यगोचरम् ॥ Ibid., 196. वृत्तिः । अणूनां स च ज्ञानजननसामर्थ्यलक्षणो विशेषः .....। न हि प्रत्येकमणवो दृश्याः। किन्तु सहिता एव । .... . . . . एकस्मिन् परमाणौ शानस्यानियमात् सामान्यगोचर सचितपरमाणुसंघातविषयं ज्ञानमुकं तत्त्ववादिना । न तु परमाण्वतिरिक्तसामान्यविषयम् । Exactly this same opinion is expressed by the opponents in saying "the general quality of atoms ", etc. P. 61, n. 12. तत्र वुद्धिर्यदाकारा, etc. Pramanavar. II, 224, p. 73, 1. 3. The holders of this view may be some of the Vaibhaşikas who maintain that the single atoms are act objects of our cognition, but their generality (sāmānya-saħcita) does so. Cf. the above •extracts from Pramanavar. and vrtti thereon. . 14 104 ALAMBANAPARĪKSĀ P. 85, 1. 10. (-p.39,1.9). This objection, according to Nya. yaviniscaya of Akalanka, has been made by Bhadanta Slubhagupta; see Subhagupta's passage cited by Akalaika: तत्र भवन्त शुभगुतस्त्वाह । विस्खोऽयं हेतुः (सहोपलम्म:)। यस्मात् , सहशब्दश्च लोकेऽन्यो(स्या)लेवा- न्येन विना कचित् । विरुद्धोऽयं ततो खुर्यशस्ति सहवेदनम् ॥ (Nyāyaviniscaya, Akalarikatraya, pp. 159-60). P. 85, 1. 33. The idea is well expressed by Dharmakirti in this verse : भित्रकालं कथं प्रात्यमिति चेत् ग्राह्यतां विदुः । हेतुत्वमेव पुच्क्षिाः हानाकारार्पणक्षमम् ॥ Pramanarartika, II, 247. This verse is often quoted by other writers: Vācaspatimis'ra ; N. Tātparyaţikā, p. 101; Pārthasarathimisra: S'lok. Comment, p. 283 and Advayavajrasadgraha, p. 17.
APPENDIX VASUB.INDHU'S CRITICISM OF THE EXTERNAL THINGS [The following is the extract from Vasubandhu's Viſs'ikā with bhāşya, ed. S. Levi. Vasubandhu, the earlier champion of the Vijñānavāda school, criticises, there, in his own way, the views of those who hold the external things to be real. I have reproduced the particular portion of Vasubandhu's arguments in favour of his thesis, vijñaptimātrata, reality of only consciousness and nothing else, to facilitate comparison with Dinnāga's method of argument.] न तदेकं न चाने विषयः परमाणुशः । न च ते संहता यस्मात्परमाणुन सिध्यति ॥ ११ ॥ इति किमुक्तं भवति । यत्तद्रूपादिकमायतनं रूपादिविज्ञप्तीनां प्रत्येक विषय. स्यात् , तदेकं वा स्यात् यथावयविरूपं कल्प्यत वैशेषिकैः । अनेक वा ‘परमाणुशः। संहता वा त एव परमाणवः । न तावदेकं विषयो भवति । अवयवेभ्योऽन्यस्यावयविरूपस्य कचिदप्यग्रहणात् । राप्यनेका परमाणूनां 106 ĀLAMBANAPARİKŞĀ प्रत्येकमग्रहणात् । नापि ने संहता विषयीभवन्ति । यस्मात्परमाणुरेकं द्रव्यं न सिध्यति । कथं न सिध्यति । यस्मात् । पटकेन युगपद्योगात्परमाणोः षडंशता' । षड्भ्यो दिग्भ्यः षड्भिः परमाणुभिर्युगपद्योगे सति परमाणोः षडंशता प्रामोति । एकस्य यो देशः नात्यात्यासंप्वात् । षण्णां समानदेशत्वात्पिण्डः स्यादणुमात्रकः ॥ १२ ॥ अथ य एवैकस्य परमाणोर्देशः स एष षण्णाम् । तेन सर्वेषां समानदेशत्वात्सर्वः पिण्डः परमाणुमात्रः स्यात् परस्पर[]व्यतिरेकादिति न कश्चित्पिण्डो दृश्यः स्यात् । नैव हि परमाणवः संयुज्यन्ते, निरवयवत्वात् । मा भूदेष दोषप्रसङ्गः । संहताम्तु परस्परं संयुज्यन्ते इति काश्मीरवैभाषिकाः । त इदं प्रष्टव्याः । यः परमाणुनां संघातो न स तेभ्योऽर्थान्तरमिति । परमाणोरसंयोगे तत्संघातेऽस्ति कस्य सः । संयोग इति वर्तते । न चानवयवत्वेन तत्संयोगो न सिध्यति ॥ १३ ॥ । 'ct.

The Vaibhāşikas accept only the first ten upakles'as of this group. These two dharmas (ahrikhya and anapatrāpya) are put by the Vaibhāşikas under akusalamahābhūmikadarma. "Trim. ver. 14; Bhasya, pp. 31-33. These are, for the Vai. bbāşikas the first four of 8 aniyatabhumikadharmāh. The other four aniy. dharmāh, rāga, dveşa, māna, and vicikitsā are counted by Yogācāras amongst 6 klesas. Some of the klesa and upaklesa groups are mentioned in the Dhammadāyādasutta (Majjbima, I, 3, p. 15): lobha, dosa, kodha, upanāha, makkha, palāsa, issā, maccheram, māyā, sātheyyam, thambha, sārambha, māna, atimāna, mada, pamāda. These are again, mentioned as upaklesa of the mind in the Vatthūpamasutta (Maj. I, 7, p. 36f.) This is avijñapti for the Vaibhāşikas. According to the Vaibhāşikas they are only 14, vis. Nos. 1-3, 5-14 : thus 13 in the above list of Yogācāras and aprāpti being added, 14 dbarmas are counted. "Chinese has ming-hen which means literally "life-hatred". I think the character hen is a mistake for ken, source; so I have taken botb ming-ken to mean joitendriya or simply jivita, the 7th dharma in the Vaibhasikas' list. 11 19 APPENDIX 115 समापत्तिः, ६ निरोपसमापत्तिः, ७ असंज्ञिविपाकः, ८ नामकायः, ९ पद- कायः, १० व्यञ्जनकायः, ११ जातिः, १२ जरा, १३ स्थितिः, १४ अनि- त्यता, १५ प्रवृत्तिः or सोतःसन्ततिः १६ एवंभागीयः or समाध्यन्त- रम्, १७ प्रतिबन्धः, १८ जावन्यम् , १९ क्रमः, २० देशः or दिक्, २१ कालः, २२ संख्या, २३ सामग्री or संयोगः, २४ भेदः or वियोगः। पञ्चमोऽसंस्कृतधर्मः संक्षपेण 'पहिधः-१ १ आकाशः, २ प्रतिसंख्यानिरोधः, ३ अप्रतिसंख्यानिरोधः, ४ अचलनिरोधः, ५ संज्ञा- वेदयितनिरोधः, ६ तथता । उक्तं नैरात्म्यं संक्षेपेण द्विविधम्-२ पुद्गलनैरात्म्यम् २ धर्म- नैरात्म्यम् । इति महायानशतधर्माचाः लम् 1.

116 ALAMBANAPARIKSĀ D CLASSIFICATION OF PHENOMENA (DHARMAS) ACCORDING TO THE SAUTRĀNTIKAS [It is already known that the Sautrāntikas as against the Vaibhāşikas, reduced the number of Dharmas to forty-three. But how they have worked it out actually is not as yet known either from the Sanskrit, Chinese or Tibetan source. However, some hints as to the method of their classification of things are found in the Sivajñānasidhiyār, (second part, parapakşa) and commentary thereon. The Sidhiyār, a polemical treatise in Tamil on Saiva philosophy was composed by Arunandi Sivācāryar, a great Saivait scholar of South India, who flourished in 1275-1325 A.D. The relevant portion of the section, Sautrantikamata of the Sidhiyār is given below with the commentary which supplements the text with a very valuable necessary information on the subject.] Text: There are only two pramāņas, pratyakşa and anumana. The momentary knowledge and the knowable are their objects. These objects get divided 2 1 This Section is studied and translated in full by the present writer and published in the Journal of the Sri Venkatesvara Oriental Institute, Tirupati, Vol. I, part 2, pp. 176-191. The commentator, Jfāpaprakasar in explainping pratyakşa, quotes Dharmakirti: Siron 1 It is divided into four : idriyapratyaksa mānasapr. g'ogapr. and svasamvedanāpr. See Nyāya. bindu, I. 4-11.
APPENDIX 117 into four, vig, rūpa, arupa, nirvana and vyavahara. Each one of these four objects is again divided into two, and therefore they become eight in all, (ver. 3). Two kinds of rūpa are: upadanarūpa and upadaya-rupa. Two kinds of arūpa are: citta and karman. Two kinds of nirvana are: sopadhiseşanir. and nirupadhisteşanirvara. Two kinds of vyavahara are: sad. and asadvyavahara, (ver. 4). Four upadanarupas are: earth, water, fire and air. Four upadayatupas are: hardness, attraction, motion and heat. Rupa is what is produced from the combination of the above eight elements (4 upadanar. and 4 upadayar.). Citta is that which cognizes a thing cognizable through the senses. Karman is to discriminate what is good and what is bad, (ver. 5). Commentary: The author intends to bring all the five groups of elements of the Buddhists indicated in this verse No. 5. Of these five groups, rūpa includes eight elements, four upadanarūpas and four upadayarupas; vedana three, kustala, akusala and kusalakusala; sanjña six, five sense organs and one citta; This is partly in harmony with Yosomitra's comment : Than हिवते । भूतविकारविशेषा एवेन्द्रियाणीति । प्रवचने तु नैवम् । किं तर्हि । स्पादिव्यति- रिचानि अच्छानि अतीन्द्रियाणि स्वविज्ञानानुमेयानि इन्द्रियाणि येषां चक्षुरादीन्यधिष्ठा- TIA FOI p. 24-25.

118 ĀLAMBANAPARİKŠĀ 4 vijñana six, vijfānas corresponding to the six above and sanskara twenty, ten good acts and ten bad acts. Thus they work out forty-three in all. So says their Scripture: எட்டிவை யுருவமூனறுவேதனை யாறுஞான, மொட்டிய குறிப்போராறு செய்கை மிருபதாகக், கட்டிய பஞ்சகந்தங்கணத்தினிற் பங்கமாகித், தொட்ட நாற்பத்து மூன்றுஞ்சுகத நூற்றுணிவு தானே. " It is the siddhanta of the scriptures of the Buddhists that the forty-three [dharmas] which are momentary are counted in five skandhas which are built up of eight rūpas, three vedanās, six jñānas, their corresponding six samjñās and twenty saṁskāras." [It may be noted that the asaṁskṛta elements, akasa, etc. which are not real entities for the Sautrāntikas, are not counted in the above list.] *These ten good and ten bad acts are the same as dasa kusalas and dasākusalas divided into three, vācika, kāyika and mānasika.
