Note

In cases where are gzven to passages within the same text, however, only the page numbers are .
Readers are referred to the Bibliography whenever full mformatlOn on pnmary and secondary sources does not appear in the relevant note.
FUNDAMENTALS: TRANSLATOR'S INTRODUCTION
These and all subsequent enumerations are to be found in the Glossary
of Enumerations in Volume Two.
2 In this traditional enumeration, the antigods were not given a class
status distinct from that of the Four Great Kings (Caturmaharaja-
kayika).
3 Refer to pp. 162-9, where Madhyamaka philosophy is discussed.
4 These are explained on pp. 162-9.
5 For works of Sanskrit origin, wherever possible the formal Sanskrit
titles are given in parentheses at the first mention of each text. The English rendering, however, follows the Tibetan, which often refers to texts by secondary or abridged titles. Further details for all texts mentioned can be found in the first part of the Bibliography in Volume Two.
6 An asterisk (*) has been used to indicate hypothetical reconstructions of Sanskrit technical terms not presently documented in available Sanskrit texts. Please note, however, that although many Sanskrit personal and place names used in these translations are similarly hypothetical, an asterisk has not been used to indicate these for purely aesthetic reasons.
7 I. e. those works contained in his Collection of Eulogies (Stavakaya, T 1118-36).
8 The distinction between these views and their integration from the standpoint of experience are the subject-matter of Pt. 3.
