In fact, this doctrine of the non-existence of the soul is the only road to the city of Nirvana; although illumined by the rays which are the words of this sun which is the Tathagata, although followed by thousands of saints, and although it is without
168 obstacles, it is not seen by persons of weak insight.
In this book one will find but a summary indication for the use
of intelligent persons: but poison (of belief in soul), once within a
169 wound, will spread itself everywhere by its own force.
Refutation of the pudgala 1355
? 1356 Chapter Nine
Preliminary Notes
I. According to the Tibetan, this is "The Ninth Chapter {Kosastbdnam) entitled An Exposition of the Refutation of the Pudgala" {gan zag dgag pa bstan pa zhes bya ba mdzod kyi gnas dgu pa; Mdo 64, Gordier, p. 394).
But the colophon to the Eighth Chapter says that the Abhidharmako/abhdsyam ends with that Chapter: chos mnon pa'i mdzod kyi bfad pa las snoms par 'jug pa bstan pa zhes bya ba mdzog kyi gnas brgyad pa'? / chos mnon pa'i mdzod 'di rdzogs so = Abhidbarma- kofabhdsye Samdpattinirdeso ndma astamam kosastbdnam / samdpto'yam Abhidharma- kosah.
According to the colophon of the Vydkhyd, this Chapter is "The Determination of the Pudgala, An Annex to the Eighth Chapter" {astamakosasthdnasambaddha eva pudgalavinis- cayah). And according to the Bhdsyam, this section is entitled "The Treatise on the Refutation of the Pudgala," Pudgalapratisedha-prakarana (iv. 73, p. 650), or "The Refutation of the Doctrine of the Soul," Atmavddapratisedha (v. 27, p. 818).
To certain commentators, the last of the final stanzas of the "Ninth Chapter" refer to the entire Ko/abhdsyam; for others,-- who appear to be the wiser, --to only the Refutation of the Pudgala.
Evidently the Abhidharmakoiabhdsyam, an exposition of the doctrines of the Abhidharma according to the principles of the Vaibhasikas, ends with Karika viii. 40. The stanzas which follow on p. 1355 are the conclusion of the work.
The so-called "Ninth Chapter" does not contain any Karikas; here Vasubandhu teaches many doctrines which are common to both the Vaibhasikas and the Sautrantikas, but, on the whole, he adopts the position of the Sautrantikas.
Samghabhadra does not concern himself with the Ninth Chapter.
The stanzas on p. 1355 are, we would say, the conclusion of the Abhidharmakosabhd- syam. Hstian-tsang (TD 29, p. 152b17-22) places them at the end of his Chapter VIII; Paramurtha, on the contrary, makes them the preamble to Chapter IX {TD 29, p. 304al5-20). Thus it is evident that the "Treatise on the Refutation of the Pudgala" importunes,--if one can say this,--these stanzas (see below note 1).
II. Vasubandhu refutes the doctrines of the Pudgalavadins, "followers of the pudgala," and he calls them Vatsiputriyas. The Vydkhyd explains: vatsiputriyd dryasdmmattydh (see note 8). The sources (Vasumitra, Bhavya, and Vinitadeva) do not agree in their enumeration of the sects or schools which admit a pudgala. One will finds some information in Nirvana, 1926, p. 34, and in a version of Vasumitra's treatise which I hope to publish in the Collection de Materiaux pourI 'etude du Bouddhisme, by J. Przyluski.
The question is asked: are the Pudgalavadins Buddhists? Yasbmitra is very plain in this: na hi Vdtsiputriydndm muktir nesyate bauddhatvdt; "one does not pretend that they cannot obtain deliverance, for they are Buddhists" (see note 8). An opposite opinion, however, is given on p. 1338 (Hsuan-tsang, TD 29, p. 156c25) and in the final stanzas where the Pudgalavadins are included among the Tlrthikas.
Lcan-skya hu-thug-hu expresses a very widespread opinion when he says that the five schools of the Mahasmmitiyas, admitting that the "self is a "person", cannot be considered as Buddhist (Wassilief, p. 270).
Santideva {Bodhicarydvatdra, ix. 60) says, "The followers of a pudgala, internal non-believers (antas'caratirthika), admit a soul (dtman) called pudgala, and say that this soul is neither identical to the skandhas, nor different from them: otherwise one can see that they enter into the philosophy of the non-Buddhists. " They call themselves Buddhists, saugatammanya.
Candrakirti {Madhyamakdvatdra, vi. 86) says, "The non-Buddhists (tirthikas) speak of a pudgala, etc. ; seeing that the pudgala and other supposed principles do not have any activity,
? the Buddha declared that the mind alone is active. To say 'non-Buddhists' is a general manner of speaking; for there are Buddhists ('some sectarians of this Dharma') who admit a pudgala. From a certain point of view (rnam pa gcig tu na - ekaprakarena), they are not Buddhists, for, like non-Buddhists, they do not correctly understand the sense of the Teaching. Consequently, this designation ('non-Buddhist') is extended to all. It says in the Ratndvali, 'The world, with the Samkhyas, Vaisesikas, and Nirgranthas, believe in a pudgala, in the skandhas, and in other principles. We would ask them if they teach the means to pass beyond being and non-being (or rather: if they pass beyond the affirmation and the negation of existence). . . ' Consequently one must consider those who believe in the skandhas, etc. , as persons outside (bdhya)" (We see that the "followers of the skandhas" or skandhavddins, that is to say, the orthodox Buddhists of the Hlnayana, are, like the followers of the pudgala, excluded from the Good Law).
III. The classical etymology of pudgala is represented in the Tibetan by gan zag and in the Chinese (Mahdvyutpatti, 207. 7) as ts'eng-chien ? ? : puryati galati ca (Sarvadarfana; and Sarad Candra Das and S. LeVi's translation of the Sutrdlamkdra, p. 259: "through which demerit increases and merit decreases, and vice versa").
Buddhaghosa, in his Visuddhimagga, 310, has: pun ts vuccati nirayo tasmin galantiti puggald.
The Abhisamaydlamkdrdloka, commenting on the Astasahasrika 19. 2, proposes the etymology: punah punar gatisu liyate, which is reflected in the translation of Hsuan-tsang "which, on many occasions, takes up the gatis. "
TheAstasahasrikahas:sattvadrstydjivadrstyd pudgaladrstydbhavadrstydvibhavadrstyd ucchedadrstydh idsvatadrstydh svakdyadrstyd etasdm evamddydndm drstindm prahdndya dharmam deiayisyatiti tendrthena bodhisattvo mahdsattva ity ucyate.
The Abhisamaydlamkdrdloka has: tatrdhamkdrddhdndrthena dtmd / dhito'hamkdra etasminn iti krtvd / sidandtmakatvdt sattvah / jivitendriyavaiena nikdyasabhdge parisamdpte vart at a itijivah / punah punar gatisu liyta itipudgalah / dvirbhavatiti bhavah / tirobhavatiti vibhavah / ndstiddnim abhut purvam ity ucchedah (prasajyate) astiyac (ca) svabhdvena na tan ndstiti fas vat ah / atmdtmiydkdrena pancaskandhadarsanam / evamddydndm drstindm . . .
We would remark that the etymology of sattva is as we have encountered in Kofa, v. 7, note 27 (reading of S. Levi). Buddhaghosa gets sattva from sakta, etc.
On other synonyms of pudgala, see above p. 1324 (Hsuan-tsang, TD 29, p. 154a28)
IV. Among the sources which must be compared with the present Treatise on the Refutation of the Pudgala, we would point out: 1. Kathdvatthu, i. l (translation of S. Z. Aung and Mrs. Rhys Davids, Points ofi Controversy); 2. Vijnanakdya, TD 26, number 1539, Chap. II (translated and analyzed in Etudes Asiatiques, 1925, i. p. 358-376); 3. Sdmmitiyasdstra, TD 32, number 1649, an analysis of which will be published in the Collection de Materiaux pour I'eftude du Bouddhisme, by Przyluski). Vasubandhu quotes part of these last two treatises: some indications on this subject are in the notes of our translation.
On the other hand, the Sutrdlamkdra of Asanga (edited and translated by S. Le'vi, 1907-1911), xviii. 92-103, depends to a certain extent on the Treatise of Vasubandhu. We would mention for example the discussion of the relationship between fire and fuel, the use of the same scriptural texts, and the demonstration of the inactivity of the pudgala.
A dependence by &antideva (for example, the Bodhicarydvatdra ix. 73) and his commentator on Vasubandhu is no less evident.
Vasubandhu's observations on the inability of an dtman to transmigrate, and on the relationship of fire and fuel, is seen in the Madhyamakasutras, x. 14 and xvi. 2.
All of the refutation to the pudgala in Candraklrti's Madhyamakdvatdra, is, one could say, inspired by Vasubandhu; for example vi. 146: "Some maintain the real existence of a pudgala, of which one cannot say that it is identical to the skandhas or different from them, permanent or impermanent; it is known by the six vijrldnas, and it is the object of the idea

? 1358 Chapter Nine
of self. "
In his small Treatise, Vasubandhu refutes not only the followers of the pudgala,
--Buddhists albeit heretical, --but also some non-Buddhists, the Grammarians, the Samkhyas, and the VaiSesikas. He quotes Varsaganya (v. 27, translation, p. 818). He has some details concerning the positions of these non-Buddhists which can be compared with the traditions preserved by Paramartha and K'uei-chi (Takakusu, Toung-pao, 1904, and JRAS, 1905).
V. An argument of the Pudgalavadins, not mentioned by Vasubandhu, is pointed out in the Vydkhyd for i. 42 (p. 85 of the Petrograd edition). The Sutra says: caksusa rilpani drstvd na nimittagrahi'. . . "Having seen visibles by the eye, he does not conceive any affection. . . " As the eye sees, so too the pudgala sees by the eye {yasmdc caksuh paiyati tasmdt pudgala/ caksusa paiyati; see below note 38).
The Vydkhyd for iii. 43a admits the two hypotheses that Vasubandhu attributes death (cyuti) to the mind (citta), or to the pudgala.
Buddhaghosa, in his Manorathapurani, i. 95, explains in terms of which Vasubandhu would approve, why the Bhagavat speaks of a pudgala, even though a pudgala does not exist.
***
? 1. Vyakhyd: kirn khalv ato'nyatra mokso ndstiti / na pramddyam mumuksubhir iti vacandd ayam eva moksopdyo nasty ato'nyo moksopdyas tad atra moktukdmaih pramddo na kartavya ity arthad uktam dcdryena / codakah pfcchati kim khalv ata iti vistaral? .
Vasubandhu said, "Those who desire deliverance should apply themselves without weakness to this doctrine. " That is to say, "There is no deliverance outside of this doctrine. " The opponent answers, "Is there then no deliverance . . . "
2. On this subject, see the stanza of the Stotrakara (=Matrceta, Takakusu, l-tsing, p. 156): sdhamkdre manasi na samam ydti janmaprabandho
ndhamkdras calati hrdaydd dtmadrstau ca satydm /
anyah iditdjagati cayat? ndsti nairdtmyavddi
ndnyas tasmdd upasamavidhes tvanmatdd asti mdrgah //
"As long as the mind {manas- citta) is accompanied by the idea of "I," the series of rebirths cannot be stopped; the idea of "I" is not removed from the heart as long as there exists the view that there is a soul {dtman). Now there is not in the world any master who teaches the non-existence of the soul (nairdtmya-vddin), except you. Thus, there is not, outside of your doctrine, any other path of deliverance. "
Compare the stanzas attributed to the Acarya, Bodhicarydvatdrapanjikd, 492: yah pa/yaty dtmdnam tasydham iti sas vat ah snehah / snehdt sukhesu trsyati trsnddosdms tiraskurute. . .
The same for Candraklrti, Madhyamakdvatdra, vi. 120 (quoting the Madhyamakavrtti, p. 340), "Seeing through, prajfid that all defilements and all evil {kleia, doso) comes from the idea of self (satkayadrstt), and taking into consideration that the object of this idea is the soul {dtman), the ascetic (yogin) denies the soul. "
3. Saeki cites a commentary on the Vijfiaptimatra, 2,4: a. the asamskrtas do not exist; b. that which exists {asti-dharma- bhdva) is of three types: things known through direct perception, matter (color), the mind; things like pots and clothes {hsien shouyung fa ? 9? ? ? )'>> things like the organs (yu tso yungfa 'ft'fF^fc'fe ); ? three concep- tions of the self: identical to the skandhas, different from the skandhas, neither identical or different.
4. Agama, the proof from authority, is not mentioned because it is included within anumdna, inference.
5. Entity = bhdva; Hsuan-tsang translates this asyu-fa ^$? which calls to mind the atthidhamma of Buddhaghosa.
6. Vyakhyd: pratyaksam upalabdhir iti pratyaksam ity upalabdhivihsanam / pratyaksam tad upalabdhih pratyaksata upalabdhir ity arthah / athavd pratyaksam pramdnam upalabdhir upalabhyate'naya ity upalabdhih /
On upalabdhi, i. English trans, p. 74, ii. p. 205 , Sutralamkdra, p. 155.
The object of the mental consciousness is defined by YaSomitra: {upalabdhir) dharmdyatanasya vedanddilaksanasya yogivisayasya ca = the perception of the dharmdyatana (that is to say, vedand, etc. ) and of things which the Yogins perceive. (In fact the mental consciousness of the Yogins knows the minds and mental states of others, vii. ll).
But how can perception {upalabdhi) by the manas be pratyaksam, immediate or direct perception? In fact the manas which has just arisen is known by the manas which immediately follows (i. 17): manasas ca kim pratyaksam upalabdhih / samanantaranirud- dharh hi mano'nantarotpannena manovijnanena vijn~ayate. There is a difficulty here. Some other masters (the Sautrantikas) think that the mind knows itself: the subject and the object of the consciousness are both directly perceived: raktam vd dvistam vd sukhasamprayuktam va duhkhasamprayuktam vd (iv. 49) ity evamadi svasamvedyatayd (pratyaksam) ity apare / tad etad dvividham pratyaksam grdhyagatam grahakagatam vd.
7. Vyakhyd: maharsipranidhijndnaparicchinnatvdd asty eva caksurddikam indriyam
Footnotes 1359
? 1360 Chapter Nine
caksurvijnanddikdranam iti / sarvesdm avivdddc ca.
See i. 9c (Vyakhyd, p. 25), 44a. On pranidhijnana, see vii. 37.
8. Vyakhyd: Vdtsiputriyd Aryasammatiyah / anena vitathdtmadrstinivistatvalaksano hetur anaikdntika iti darsayati / na hi vdtsiputriydndm mokso nesyate bauddhatvdt / atha vd prdkpaksavirodhah / sdpaksdlo'yam pakso nasty dtmd ity anena darfayati.
From two things, one. The Vatslputriyas believe in a certain type of real self: now they are Buddhists, and one cannot deny that they can obtain deliverance: thus the author is wrong in saying that a false conception of the self creates an obstacle to deliverance. Or rather the thesis which denies the self is false.
On the avaktavyatd of the pudgala, see, for example, Madhyamakavrtti, 283.
9. Color, sound, etc. , are distinct things (bhinnalaksana); milk, a house, and an army are complexes of colors, tastes, odors, and tangibles, of straw and wood, of elephants, horses, and chariots, not of separate things, bhdvdntara: milk is nothing other than color, etc.
Compare Sutrdlamkdra, xviii. 92: prajfiaptyastitayd vdcyah pudgalo dravyato na tu.
10. YaSomitra quotes this stanza of Dharmaklrti:
varsdtapabhydm kirn vyomnas carmany asti tayol? phalam /
carmopamas cet so'nityah khatulyas ced asatphalah //
Sarvadariana, p. 10 (1858); Nyayavdrttika, ii. l, 5, Tatparya, 164; in Slokavdrttika:
khatulyas ced asatsamah; Naiskarmyasiddhi, ii. 60, etc.
If the pudgala is unconditioned (asamskrta), eternal, unmodifiable, it is like space, it is
like not existing.
There exists only that which is "capable of action" (arthakriyd), that which is momentary (yat sat tat ksanikam): a thesis of the Sautrantikas; for the Vaibhasikas, the asamskrtas (space and the two nirodhas, i. 5c) exist.
11. For the Vatslputriya, as for Vasubandhu, the skandhas of the past and of the future do not exist. The meaning of the expressions ddhydtmika (or abhyantara) and upatta is explained in Kosa, i. 34d, 39a-b.
12. The Vyakhyd attributes this paragraph to the author, not to the Vatslputriyas. 13. For certain commentators, idhyate and dahyate are equivalent.
14. Astagravyaka (ii. 22): the four mahdbhutas or primary substances, and the four updddyarupas, from rupa (the visible) to the tangible.
15. The thing on fire (pradipta) is a complex; it is at one and the same time burner (fire) and the thing burning (indhana): in fact this thing is constituted of four elementary substances (above note 13), and one of these substances which is "heat" is the fire.
16. Earth and water are different, for their laksanas differ; the same holds for the burner and the thing burned.
17. Vyakhyd: updddyarthas tu vaktavya iti/ ananyatvdd ity abhiprdyah. We must give the word updddya an explanantion that justifies the thesis that fire and fuel are not different.
18. The fuel is made up of three mahdbhutas, and fire is its usmalaksana, the fourth mahdbhuta. They arise at the same time, like two horns.
19. One should understand: indhanam updddya - indhanam dsritya: the fire takes it support from the fuel. Or rather the meaning is that of sahabhdva, co-existence, or sahotpada, co-arising.
20. Paramartha: If he says, "that which is hot by its nature (the fire) is called hot. The object in question (fuel), although different from fire which is hot by nature, becomes hot through its association with that which is hot by its nature," we conclude that it is not incorrect to say that fire and fuel differ.
? 21. See below note 32. See the Sdrhmitiyanikdyaidstra. 22. Stcherbatski, p. 832, differs.
23. This is perhaps better translated, "is ascertained. "
24. The Chinese fen-pieh kuan ^}*g|| ? maintains the version "to discern. " "By reason of physical matter, etc. , which the eye perceives (as its own object), the visual consciousness "indirectly knows," "knows in second rank" the pudgala, because physical matter is the support (updddna) of the pudgala. And one cannot say that the pudgala is physical matter.
25. In this hypothesis physical matter is not the cause of the perception of the pudgala: there is perception of the pudgala "through relationship" with physical matter.
26. Compare Samyutta, iv. 166. 27. Not by reason of three.
28. Samyukta, TD 2, p. 57cl8. The Vydkhyd quotes the first words, caksur bhikso hetur (caksurvijndnotpdddya / ruparh bhikso pratyayah . . . ).
Vydkhyd: hetur asannah pratyayah / viprakrstas tu pratyaya eva / / janako hetuh pratyayas tv dlambanamdtram ity apare / parydydv etdv ity apare. See ii. 61c, vii. 13a, p.
1112, 1113.
29. Saeki has a note (fol. 14a) on the Darstantika theory of the six vijfidnas. 30. Thus none of them "perceive" a pudgala.
31. Madhyama, TD 1, p. 791bll-17: svakarh gocaravisayarh pratyanubhavanti / ? ? ? ? ad anyasya gocaravisayarh pratyanubhavati / manas caisdrh pratisaranam.
Samyutta, v. 218: pancimdni brdhmana indriydni ndndvisaydni ndndgocardni ndnnaman- nassa gocaravisayarh paccanubhonti / katamdni pan ? a . . . / imesarh kho pancannam indriydnam ndndvisaydnam ndndgocardnarh na annamannassa gocaravisayarh paccanubhon- tdnarh mano patisaranam mano ca nesarh gocaravisayarh paccanubhoti.
On the formula manai caisdrh pratisaranam, the Vydkhyd says: anusangenedam uktam / nedam uddharanam / tathdpi tu manai catsdm indriydnam pratisaranam iti tadapeksdnin- driydni vijndnotpatta vijndnotpattau kdranam bhavantity arthah.
Vibhdsd, TD 27, p. 449al6. The Darstantikas say, "The objects of the six vijndnakdyas, caksurvijndna, etc. , are distinct. " They say, "The manovijndna has a distinct object; it does not bear on the objects of the five vijfidnas, caksurvijndna, etc. " They say, "The six vijridnas bear solely on external objects; they do not bear on the internal (ddhydtmika, see p. 1313) organs, nor on the vijndna. " In order to refute this opinion, it is explained that the first five vijfidnas have distinct objects, bearing solely on external objects, not bearing on the organs and the vijndna; but that the manovijndna has an object common to the five vijfidnas and also a different object, which bears on the internal organs and also on the vijndna. It has been explained, Koia, i. 48a, that among the eighteen dhdtuS, thirteen are the object of a single manovijndna with the exclusion of visible things, of sounds, etc. , which are also the object of the caksurvijndna, etc.
32. The words in parentheses are according to Hsuan-tsang.
Bhdsya and Vydkhyd: na vd pudgalo visaya iti (yadi sutram pramdnikriyate) / na ced
visayah (yadi na kasya cid vijfidnasya visayah) na tarhi vijneyah (tatas ca pancavidham jneyam iti svasiddhdnto bddhyate) (above note 21).
Paramartha: Or rather the pudgala is not an object. If it is not an object, it is not discerned by the six consciousnesses.
33. In spite of the Sutra, you affirm that the object of the mental consciousness is general; so too, in spite of the Sutra, you affirm that the pudgala is discernible by the visual consciousness.

35. The desire (dkdnksana) to see, to understand, etc, is certainly foreign to the organs of sight, hearing, etc. , which are material (rupasvabhdvatvdt), and also to the visual consciousness, the auditory consciousness, etc. , which are non-imaginative (nirvikalpakat- vdt).

38. This according to Hsiian-tsang. Paramartha: "The master who believes in a self says, 'I see the pudgala through ( & yu by means of) the eye'; as he sees that there is a self in ( ? ? ? ? ) that which is not a self, he falls . . . "
The Bhdsyam has the word anatmana which the Vydkhyd glosses as caksusd caksurvijnanenety arthah. Thus one should understand the^<< of Paramartha in the sense of the instrumental, "As he sees, through that which is not a self--that is to say through the eye, through the visual consciousness . . . "
Stcherbatski: "This idea of yours that there is an existing self who through the opening of his eyes contemplates other selves, this idea it is which is called Wrong Personalism. "
One can draw the conclusion from the formula caksusd rupdni drspvd that the pudgala sees through the eyes; Vydkhyd ad i. 42, p. 117 (Petrograd ed. ). Cullaniddesa 234 has: cakkhuna puriso dlokati rupagatdni. See below n. 67.

A YogacSrin commentary quoted by Saeki says: sattva, because all the Aryans truly see that only the dharmas exist, no other thing; or rather because there is affection therein (sattva from sakta, as in Buddhaghosa? ); manoja (i-sheng ? ? )> because it is constituted by the manas. . . pudgala, because it goes frequently taking up realms of rebirth without the power to be disgusted with t\\em\jiva, because it presently lives through union with the dyus (Kosa, ii. 45); jantu (sheng ^ ), because all the dharma which exist are endowed with arising.
Other lists contain thirteen names. Among them, yaksa, Suttanipdta, 875.
On sattva, see Ledi Sadaw, JPTS, 1914, 133, Mrs. Rhys Davids, Buddhist Psychology, 1914, 83. We have seen that sattva signifies "that which perishes," v. n. 27 and above p. 1319.
