b. Yasbmitra says: Such is the doctrine of the Vaibhasikas. Some other masters admit
eighteen dvenikas distinct from these, namely: ndsti tathdgatasya skhalitam, ndsti ravitam (-sahasd kriyd), ndsti dravatd (=kriddbhiprdyatd), ndsti ndndtvasamjnd (-sukhaduhkhd- duhkhdsukhesu visayesu rdgadvesamohato ndndtvasamjnd), nasty avydkftamanas, nasty apratisamkhydyopeksd, nasty atitesu pratihatam jn'dnadars'anam, nasty andgatesu pratihatam jfidnadarsanam, ndsti pratyutpannesu pratihatam jndnddarsanam, sarvam kdyakarma jn~dndnuparivarti, sarvam vdkkarma jh~dndnuparivarti, sarvam manaskarma

? 1196 Chapter Seven
ndsti prajndhanih, ndsti vimuktijfldnadarianahdnih. This contradicts iv. 12, vi. 59.
This list, with some close variants, is found in Mahdvyutpatti, 9 (an extract, according to Wogihara, from the Tsa-chi ? ? ? f Sthiramati) which is quoted here by the Japanese editor of the ? ? fa. We will find in Madhyamakdvatdra (vi. 213, p. 322-337) a commentary extracted from the Ddraniharapariprcchd. Very close too are the lists of Mahdvastu, i. 160
(see the note p. 505) and the Pali sources, Abhidhdnappadipikd and Jindlamkdra (Burnouf, Lotus, 649, Kern, Geschiedenis, i. 272, Milinda, 285).
The particularity of Yasbmitra's list is in the first terms: ndsti skhalitam ndsti ravitam ndsti dravatd; the Mahdvastu and the Mahdvyutpatti have: ndsti (s)khalitam ndsti ravitam ndsti musitasmrtitd; the Jindlamkdra gives: . . . natthi davd (commented upon as kicchdbhippdyena kiriyd, a bad reading for khidddbhippdyena), natthi ravd (commented upon as sahasd kiriyd). Note the close relationship with the glosses of Ya&omitra: dravatd = kriddbhiprdyatd, a = sahasd kriyd (=Tibetan ca ? ? , "outcry" = Chinese: "defect of the voice"). For dravatd, Mahdvastu-Mahdvyutpatti have, we would say musitasmrtitd (which has, perhaps a double use with the ninth declension: ndsti smrter hanih)t but Candra Das (p. 511) has a variant musitd or muditd, which suggests the idea of kridd.
Apratisamkhydyopeksa is an upeksd or indifference, which does not result from the consciousness, due, we would say, to apathy, not to wisdom (see vii. 8).
? The Bodhisattvabhumi (iii. 4) admits 140 dvenikas (see Museon, 1911,170): 32 and 80 marks, 4 "omniform" (sarvdkdra) purities, 10 balas, 4 vaiiaradyas, 3 smrtyupasthdnas, 3 draksanas (compare the 4 draksyas of Mahdvyutpatti, 12), mahdkarund, asampramosadhar- matd, vdsandsamudghdta, sarvdkdravarajfidna (compare sarvathdjHdna, Ko/a, vii. p. 1146).

The Buddha is daiabala, Mahdvagga, i. 22. 13; "Dasabala" is the title of a vagga of the Samyutta; see however the observations of Rhys Davids, Milinda, ii. 134. the ten balas of the Bodhisattva, Mahdvyutpatti, 26.
The balas are explained, according to the Dhdranisvarapariprcchd in the Madhyamakd- vatdra, Tibetan translation, p. 369-395.
If the balas belong to the Sravakas; if the first nine balas are pure or dryan "knowledges", Kathdvatthu, iii. 1-2.

165. This first jndnabala is by nature ten jndnas. Sthdndsthdna is divided into 1. samskrta, which is eightfold; 2. samprayukta (associated with the mind), of four types--Kamadhatu, Rupadhatu, Arupyadhatu, and andsrava; 3. viprayukta (disassociated from the mind), the same; and 4. asamskrta, which is either morally good or neutral.
Sthdndsthdnabala as samvrtijndna bears on these ten things; as dharmajndna on five; as anvayajndna on seven. . .
How are these ten things sthdndsthdna} See the Sutras: "There is the sthdna (possibility, sambhava) that a male realizes Buddhahood (buddhatvam kdrayisyati); there is the asthdna (impossibility, asambhava) that a female. . . ; there is the possibility that a male becomes Brahma (brahmatvam kdrayisyati); there is the possibility of the destruction of suffering. . .
Definition of this bala, Vibhanga, p. 335.
166. Action and its result are in fact included within the Truths of Suffering and Arising, not
in the Truths of Extinction or the Path.
167. We have Four Dhyanas (viii. l), Eight Vimoksas (viii. 32), Three Samadhis (funyatd, etc. , viii. 24), Two Samapattis (asamjni and nirodha, ii. 42) and Nine anupurvavihdrasamd- pattis {dhyanas, drupyas, nirodha). The same in Vibhanga, 339.
168. That is indriyaparopaiiyatta, Vibhanga, 340, Papisambhidd, i. 121. Indriya is rendered in the stanza by aksa; the Buddha knows if the faculties of beings (faith, etc. ) are weak, etc, (pardpara). (Vibhanga is more developed).
169. Adhimukti = adhmoksa - ruci (i. 20); the Buddha knows the aspirations of beings, their likes.
170. Sarhghabhadra explains: pUrvdbhydsavdsandsamttddgata diayo dhdtur iti; the Buddha knows the mental dispositions which result from former habits and practices. On vdsand, vii. 30c, 32d; on diaya, iv. note 375, and p. 663, vi. 34, Vibhanga, 340. The Vibhanga differs and places the consciousness of diaya, anuiaya, etc. , in the seventh bala.
171. The knowledge relative to nirodha is only included in the knowledge of the Path (pratipad) if one understands pratipad as pratipatphala; in fact pratipad is not the cause of nirodha even though it is the cause of the realms of rebirth.
The Vibhanga (p. 339) does not envision the pratipad of nirodha; the Papisambhidd- magga takes it into consideration.
172. On the expression jambusandagata, see iii. 41 at the end.
173. This is the story recounted in the Sutrdlamkdra of ASvaghosa, trans. Huber, p. 283. Saeki refers to the Sutra of the Wise and the Foolish, TD 4, no. 202) where the story is much
Footnotes 1197
? 1198 Chapter Seven
more detailed, see TD 4, p. 376b2-p. 380al0; Dsanglun of Schmidt, 107-128. See also Zapiski, vii. 281, 286, and Histoire des Religions, 1903, i. 323. According to a note by P. Pelliot, the hero is called Srlvrddhi. Saeki also mentions Vibhdsd, TD 27, p. 530cl9 and following.
The Vyakhyd explains: Sariputra searches in vain to see in the series of this person a root of good "which could produce deliverance" (moksabhdgiya, iii. 44c, iv. 124, vi. 24c, vii. 34), and as a consequence refused to admit this person into the Sarhgha.
But the Bhagavat saw this root of good and confered pravrajyd upon him. On this occasion the Bhagavat, questioned by the Bhiksus, said: "He did an action so that he obtained the state of Arhat. For actions do not mature in water . . . and the rest. " And it says: Moksabijam aharh hy asya susuksmam upalaksaye/ dhdtupdsdnavivare nilinam iva kdncanam// (Quoted in Vyakhyd, i. p. 5; translated by Burnouf, Lotus, p. 346).
174. Paramartha: "It is related also of the pigeon chased by the hawk that Sariputra was not capable of knowing the beginning and the end of his rebirths [as a bird? ]. "
The Vyakhyd has: upapattyddiparyantdjndnam ceti/ ddisabdena cyutiparyantdjndnam, that is to say: [There was also ignorance on the part of Sariputra] concerning the limit of births and deaths [of the pigeon . . . ].
175. Yogasutra, iii. 24, on the acquisition of the power of an elephant, etc.
176. Vibhdsd, TD 27, p. 155a8: As the Sutra says, the body of the Bodhisattva has the force of Narayana. What is the measure of this force? There are those who say, "The force of nineteen bulls is equal to the force of one hao-niu ? 4 1 (Couvrier: a bull which has long hair down to the joints of his legs). . . " There are some who say: "This measure is too small. In the body of the Bodhisattva, there are eighteen great joints: each has the force of Narayana . . . " The Mahabhadanta says: "This measure is too small. In the same way that the force of the mind is infinite, so too the force of the body. How do we know this? . . . When the Bodhisattva undertakes the resolution: "I shall not get up before I have attained Bodhi. . . ," the great chiliocosm moved in some six different ways, but the very hairs of the Bodhisattva did not stir . . . "
177. This is an explanation of the opinion of others. Vyakhyd: samdhisv anya ity uktam/ asthisamdhivisesopanydsah / ndgagranthir iti vistarah/ ndgagranthasamdhayo buddhdh/ ndgapdso ndgagranthih/ sarhkalasarhdhayah pratyekabuddhdh/ sankusamdhayas cakravar- tinah.
178. On the Mahanagnas, see Divya, 372, Burnouf, Introduction ? 6? , Lotus, 452. Canura is an enemy of Krsna.
179. In Mahdvyutpatti, 252 (which relys on the Kosa), vardnga precedes praskandin.
180. Paramartha replaces ten with one hundred.
181. The original has yathdtu bahutaram tathd yujyate. Paramartha adds: "Why? Because the force of the Buddha is without measure. " The Vydkhyd says: "The author defends the first opinion, for the reason that, otherwise, the body of the Buddha would not be able to support the force of infinite knowledge. "
182. Five opinions in Vibhdsd (see TD, p. 154b8 where the discussion begins; the theories are given p. 154c24-p. 155a7), and four in Sarhghabhadra's Nydydnusdra (TD 29, p. 748bl2-b20).
183. The Sutra (Ekottara, TD 2, p. 645b27), quoted in the Vydkhya, is very close to Anguttara ii. 8 (vesdrajja): catvdrimdni sariputra tathdgatasya vaisdradydni ? airvaisdradyaih samanvdgatas tathagato'rhan samyaksambuddha uddram drsabham sthdnam pratijdnati brdhmam cakrarh (Kosa, vi. 54) pravartayati parsadi samyak simhanddam nadati/ katamdni catvdri samyaksambuddhasya vata me sata ime dharmd anabhisambuddhd ity atra mam

Same text quoted in the yijndnakdya, TD 26, p. 544a6, which has: chramano vd brahmano vd devo vd mdro vd brahmd vd. . .
In Majjhima, i. 501, the vesdrajjas are attributed to all Arhats; compare Mahdvagga, i. 6. 32. In a fragment of the Samyukta, JRAS, 1907, p. 377, the Householder Srona is vaifdradyaprdpta (an epithet of the Srotapanna).
The young lion (kisora) possesses vaisdradya, Bodhicarya, vii. 55.
The vaiidradyas of the Bodhisattva, Mahdvyutpatti, 28, Dasabhumi, viii, Madhamakdvat- dra, 320.
Etymology of the word vaisdradya, Wogihara, Bodhisattvabhumi (Leipzig, 1908), p. 41. 184. The readings of Mahdvyutpatti, 8, differ a little:. . . 3. antardyikadharmdnanyathdtvanis-
citdvya-karana. . . 4. sarvasampadadhigamdya nairydnikapratipattathdtva-vaisdradya.
185. Paramartha differs: As these absences of fear are realized by jndna, the jndna is called vaisdradya. What is the reason for the four vais'dradyas? They are useful to oneself and to others. The first two are useful to the Buddha himself; the last two are useful to others. Or rather the four are useful to others, for they expel all defilement both in the speaker and in his discourse.
186. The Vibhdsd remarks: These three smrtyupasthdnas are included within sthdndsthdnaj- Hdnabala, and within the six satatavihdras (see iii. 35d, at the end).
187. When the disciples have the contrary attitude, tathdgatasya ndghdto bhavati ndksdntir ndpratyayo na cetaso'nabhirdddhih.
Compare Majjhima, iii. 221 (very close) and i. 379; Mahdvyutpatti, 11.
For utpldvitatvam, see Bodhicarydvatdra, p. 13, note 3; manasa utplavah in Siksdsamuc- caya, 183. 6.
188. See Asanga, Sutrdlamkdra, xvii. 43; Divya, 359 (the krpd of the ? rdvaka)\ compare the stanzas in Divya, 96, 125 and Huber, Sutrdlamkdra, p. 284.
189. The pdramitds of giving, the precepts, and patience are the provisions of merit; the pdramitd of prajnd is the provision of knowledge.
The pdramitd of absorption or dhydna gives rise to merit, as it is the cultivation of the Four Apramanas (viii. 29), and it gives rise to knowledge as it is the cultivation of the thirty-seven "adjuncts of Bodhi" (vi. p. 1022).
The pdramitd of energy or vtrya is also doubly useful: na hi vind viryena ddnam diyate ? ? ? samddiyate ksdntir bhdvyata iti punyasambhdrabhdgiyam viryam bhavati/ tathd nantarena viryam prajnd bhavati. . .
Same doctrine in the Mahayana (where it is explained that the pdramitds are pdramitds by the fact of prajnd), in Bodhicarydvatdra, ix. l.
When and how the Bodhisattva practices the pdramitds, Kosa, iv. lll. 190. On dkarana, ii. 34b, vi. l8a.
191. An excellence which results notably from samskdraduhkhatdkdra and prajndsvabhd- vatd.
192. In this formula, one undertakes, along with the First Dhyana, Anagamya and Dhyanantara. Compassion is of the six bhumis.
193. "Sravakas, etc. " refer to the Pratyekabuddhas and Prthagjanas.
194. By karund, the Sravakas have simply compassion (karundyante); they experience commiseration, affliction; they do not protect one from the fear of samsdra. But the

Bhagavat, having compassion along with mahdkarund, protects one from the great terror of samsdra.
195. a. Differences between Buddhas, Kosa, iv. 102, trans, p. 685, Bodhisattvabhumi, I. vii, Museon 1911, 173 (life, name, gotra, body); Wassilieff, 286 (314). Kathdvatthu, xxi. 5:the Theravada admits differences, vemattatd, for the body (sarira), the length of life and light (pabhd); the Andhakas admit other differences. Milinda, 285 (differences between Bodhisattvas, family, time period, length of life, stature). Below note 197.
b. Vasubandhu groups together, vii. 28-34, the elements of a Buddhology. Interesting from this point of view are the following passages of the Kola:
i. l. Difference of the wisdom of the Buddha and that of other saints; omniscience (also Kosa, ix). The Buddha and the Bodhisattvas are Bhagavats.
ii. 10. Abandoning of the dyuhsamskdras; victory over the Four Maras.
ii. 44, vii. 41d, 44b. All the qualities (guna) acquired through detachment and actualized at his will.
ii. 44, vi. 24a. The conquest of Bodhi in thirty-four moments. ii. 62. Knowledge of the future.
iii. 94. Time period of the appearance of Buddhas.
iv. 12. Avyakrta mind, "non-absorbed" mind; the Naga. iv. 32. The cult of the Buddha.
iv. 32. The Dharmakaya, refuge; the Rupakaya.
iv. 73. Accepts the gifts made to Stupas.
b. Yasbmitra says: Such is the doctrine of the Vaibhasikas. Some other masters admit
eighteen dvenikas distinct from these, namely: ndsti tathdgatasya skhalitam, ndsti ravitam (-sahasd kriyd), ndsti dravatd (=kriddbhiprdyatd), ndsti ndndtvasamjnd (-sukhaduhkhd- duhkhdsukhesu visayesu rdgadvesamohato ndndtvasamjnd), nasty avydkftamanas, nasty apratisamkhydyopeksd, nasty atitesu pratihatam jn'dnadars'anam, nasty andgatesu pratihatam jfidnadarsanam, ndsti pratyutpannesu pratihatam jndnddarsanam, sarvam kdyakarma jn~dndnuparivarti, sarvam vdkkarma jh~dndnuparivarti, sarvam manaskarma

ndsti prajndhanih, ndsti vimuktijfldnadarianahdnih. This contradicts iv. 12, vi. 59.
This list, with some close variants, is found in Mahdvyutpatti, 9 (an extract, according to Wogihara, from the Tsa-chi ? ? ? f Sthiramati) which is quoted here by the Japanese editor of the ? ? fa. We will find in Madhyamakdvatdra (vi. 213, p. 322-337) a commentary extracted from the Ddraniharapariprcchd. Very close too are the lists of Mahdvastu, i. 160
(see the note p. 505) and the Pali sources, Abhidhdnappadipikd and Jindlamkdra (Burnouf, Lotus, 649, Kern, Geschiedenis, i. 272, Milinda, 285).
The particularity of Yasbmitra's list is in the first terms: ndsti skhalitam ndsti ravitam ndsti dravatd; the Mahdvastu and the Mahdvyutpatti have: ndsti (s)khalitam ndsti ravitam ndsti musitasmrtitd; the Jindlamkdra gives: . . . natthi davd (commented upon as kicchdbhippdyena kiriyd, a bad reading for khidddbhippdyena), natthi ravd (commented upon as sahasd kiriyd). Note the close relationship with the glosses of Ya&omitra: dravatd = kriddbhiprdyatd, a = sahasd kriyd (=Tibetan ca ? ? , "outcry" = Chinese: "defect of the voice"). For dravatd, Mahdvastu-Mahdvyutpatti have, we would say musitasmrtitd (which has, perhaps a double use with the ninth declension: ndsti smrter hanih)t but Candra Das (p. 511) has a variant musitd or muditd, which suggests the idea of kridd.
Apratisamkhydyopeksa is an upeksd or indifference, which does not result from the consciousness, due, we would say, to apathy, not to wisdom (see vii. 8).
? The Bodhisattvabhumi (iii. 4) admits 140 dvenikas (see Museon, 1911,170): 32 and 80 marks, 4 "omniform" (sarvdkdra) purities, 10 balas, 4 vaiiaradyas, 3 smrtyupasthdnas, 3 draksanas (compare the 4 draksyas of Mahdvyutpatti, 12), mahdkarund, asampramosadhar- matd, vdsandsamudghdta, sarvdkdravarajfidna (compare sarvathdjHdna, Ko/a, vii. p. 1146).

165. This first jndnabala is by nature ten jndnas. Sthdndsthdna is divided into 1. samskrta, which is eightfold; 2. samprayukta (associated with the mind), of four types--Kamadhatu, Rupadhatu, Arupyadhatu, and andsrava; 3. viprayukta (disassociated from the mind), the same; and 4. asamskrta, which is either morally good or neutral.
Sthdndsthdnabala as samvrtijndna bears on these ten things; as dharmajndna on five; as anvayajndna on seven. . .
How are these ten things sthdndsthdna} See the Sutras: "There is the sthdna (possibility, sambhava) that a male realizes Buddhahood (buddhatvam kdrayisyati); there is the asthdna (impossibility, asambhava) that a female. . . ; there is the possibility that a male becomes Brahma (brahmatvam kdrayisyati); there is the possibility of the destruction of suffering. . .
Definition of this bala, Vibhanga, p. 335.
166. Action and its result are in fact included within the Truths of Suffering and Arising, not
in the Truths of Extinction or the Path.
167. We have Four Dhyanas (viii. l), Eight Vimoksas (viii. 32), Three Samadhis (funyatd, etc. , viii. 24), Two Samapattis (asamjni and nirodha, ii. 42) and Nine anupurvavihdrasamd- pattis {dhyanas, drupyas, nirodha). The same in Vibhanga, 339.
168. That is indriyaparopaiiyatta, Vibhanga, 340, Papisambhidd, i. 121. Indriya is rendered in the stanza by aksa; the Buddha knows if the faculties of beings (faith, etc. ) are weak, etc, (pardpara). (Vibhanga is more developed).
169. Adhimukti = adhmoksa - ruci (i. 20); the Buddha knows the aspirations of beings, their likes.
170. Sarhghabhadra explains: pUrvdbhydsavdsandsamttddgata diayo dhdtur iti; the Buddha knows the mental dispositions which result from former habits and practices. On vdsand, vii. 30c, 32d; on diaya, iv. note 375, and p. 663, vi. 34, Vibhanga, 340. The Vibhanga differs and places the consciousness of diaya, anuiaya, etc. , in the seventh bala.
171. The knowledge relative to nirodha is only included in the knowledge of the Path (pratipad) if one understands pratipad as pratipatphala; in fact pratipad is not the cause of nirodha even though it is the cause of the realms of rebirth.
The Vibhanga (p. 339) does not envision the pratipad of nirodha; the Papisambhidd- magga takes it into consideration.
172. On the expression jambusandagata, see iii. 41 at the end.
173. This is the story recounted in the Sutrdlamkdra of ASvaghosa, trans. Huber, p. 283. Saeki refers to the Sutra of the Wise and the Foolish, TD 4, no. 202) where the story is much

more detailed, see TD 4, p. 376b2-p. 380al0; Dsanglun of Schmidt, 107-128. See also Zapiski, vii. 281, 286, and Histoire des Religions, 1903, i. 323. According to a note by P. Pelliot, the hero is called Srlvrddhi. Saeki also mentions Vibhdsd, TD 27, p. 530cl9 and following.
The Vyakhyd explains: Sariputra searches in vain to see in the series of this person a root of good "which could produce deliverance" (moksabhdgiya, iii. 44c, iv. 124, vi. 24c, vii. 34), and as a consequence refused to admit this person into the Sarhgha.
But the Bhagavat saw this root of good and confered pravrajyd upon him. On this occasion the Bhagavat, questioned by the Bhiksus, said: "He did an action so that he obtained the state of Arhat. For actions do not mature in water . . . and the rest. " And it says: Moksabijam aharh hy asya susuksmam upalaksaye/ dhdtupdsdnavivare nilinam iva kdncanam// (Quoted in Vyakhyd, i. p. 5; translated by Burnouf, Lotus, p. 346).
174. Paramartha: "It is related also of the pigeon chased by the hawk that Sariputra was not capable of knowing the beginning and the end of his rebirths [as a bird? ]. "
The Vyakhyd has: upapattyddiparyantdjndnam ceti/ ddisabdena cyutiparyantdjndnam, that is to say: [There was also ignorance on the part of Sariputra] concerning the limit of births and deaths [of the pigeon . . . ].
175. Yogasutra, iii. 24, on the acquisition of the power of an elephant, etc.
176. Vibhdsd, TD 27, p. 155a8: As the Sutra says, the body of the Bodhisattva has the force of Narayana. What is the measure of this force? There are those who say, "The force of nineteen bulls is equal to the force of one hao-niu ? 4 1 (Couvrier: a bull which has long hair down to the joints of his legs). . . " There are some who say: "This measure is too small. In the body of the Bodhisattva, there are eighteen great joints: each has the force of Narayana . . . " The Mahabhadanta says: "This measure is too small. In the same way that the force of the mind is infinite, so too the force of the body. How do we know this? . . . When the Bodhisattva undertakes the resolution: "I shall not get up before I have attained Bodhi. . . ," the great chiliocosm moved in some six different ways, but the very hairs of the Bodhisattva did not stir . . . "
177. This is an explanation of the opinion of others. Vyakhyd: samdhisv anya ity uktam/ asthisamdhivisesopanydsah / ndgagranthir iti vistarah/ ndgagranthasamdhayo buddhdh/ ndgapdso ndgagranthih/ sarhkalasarhdhayah pratyekabuddhdh/ sankusamdhayas cakravar- tinah.
178. On the Mahanagnas, see Divya, 372, Burnouf, Introduction ? 6? , Lotus, 452. Canura is an enemy of Krsna.
179. In Mahdvyutpatti, 252 (which relys on the Kosa), vardnga precedes praskandin.
180. Paramartha replaces ten with one hundred.
181. The original has yathdtu bahutaram tathd yujyate. Paramartha adds: "Why? Because the force of the Buddha is without measure. " The Vydkhyd says: "The author defends the first opinion, for the reason that, otherwise, the body of the Buddha would not be able to support the force of infinite knowledge. "
182. Five opinions in Vibhdsd (see TD, p. 154b8 where the discussion begins; the theories are given p. 154c24-p. 155a7), and four in Sarhghabhadra's Nydydnusdra (TD 29, p. 748bl2-b20).
183. The Sutra (Ekottara, TD 2, p. 645b27), quoted in the Vydkhya, is very close to Anguttara ii. 8 (vesdrajja): catvdrimdni sariputra tathdgatasya vaisdradydni ? airvaisdradyaih samanvdgatas tathagato'rhan samyaksambuddha uddram drsabham sthdnam pratijdnati brdhmam cakrarh (Kosa, vi. 54) pravartayati parsadi samyak simhanddam nadati/ katamdni catvdri samyaksambuddhasya vata me sata ime dharmd anabhisambuddhd ity atra mam

Same text quoted in the yijndnakdya, TD 26, p. 544a6, which has: chramano vd brahmano vd devo vd mdro vd brahmd vd. . .
In Majjhima, i. 501, the vesdrajjas are attributed to all Arhats; compare Mahdvagga, i. 6. 32. In a fragment of the Samyukta, JRAS, 1907, p. 377, the Householder Srona is vaifdradyaprdpta (an epithet of the Srotapanna).
The young lion (kisora) possesses vaisdradya, Bodhicarya, vii. 55.
The vaiidradyas of the Bodhisattva, Mahdvyutpatti, 28, Dasabhumi, viii, Madhamakdvat- dra, 320.
Etymology of the word vaisdradya, Wogihara, Bodhisattvabhumi (Leipzig, 1908), p. 41. 184. The readings of Mahdvyutpatti, 8, differ a little:. . . 3. antardyikadharmdnanyathdtvanis-
citdvya-karana. . . 4. sarvasampadadhigamdya nairydnikapratipattathdtva-vaisdradya.
185. Paramartha differs: As these absences of fear are realized by jndna, the jndna is called vaisdradya. What is the reason for the four vais'dradyas? They are useful to oneself and to others. The first two are useful to the Buddha himself; the last two are useful to others. Or rather the four are useful to others, for they expel all defilement both in the speaker and in his discourse.
186. The Vibhdsd remarks: These three smrtyupasthdnas are included within sthdndsthdnaj- Hdnabala, and within the six satatavihdras (see iii. 35d, at the end).
187. When the disciples have the contrary attitude, tathdgatasya ndghdto bhavati ndksdntir ndpratyayo na cetaso'nabhirdddhih.
Compare Majjhima, iii. 221 (very close) and i. 379; Mahdvyutpatti, 11.
For utpldvitatvam, see Bodhicarydvatdra, p. 13, note 3; manasa utplavah in Siksdsamuc- caya, 183. 6.
188. See Asanga, Sutrdlamkdra, xvii. 43; Divya, 359 (the krpd of the ? rdvaka)\ compare the stanzas in Divya, 96, 125 and Huber, Sutrdlamkdra, p. 284.
189. The pdramitds of giving, the precepts, and patience are the provisions of merit; the pdramitd of prajnd is the provision of knowledge.
The pdramitd of absorption or dhydna gives rise to merit, as it is the cultivation of the Four Apramanas (viii. 29), and it gives rise to knowledge as it is the cultivation of the thirty-seven "adjuncts of Bodhi" (vi. p. 1022).
The pdramitd of energy or vtrya is also doubly useful: na hi vind viryena ddnam diyate ? ? ? samddiyate ksdntir bhdvyata iti punyasambhdrabhdgiyam viryam bhavati/ tathd nantarena viryam prajnd bhavati. . .
Same doctrine in the Mahayana (where it is explained that the pdramitds are pdramitds by the fact of prajnd), in Bodhicarydvatdra, ix. l.
When and how the Bodhisattva practices the pdramitds, Kosa, iv. lll. 190. On dkarana, ii. 34b, vi. l8a.
191. An excellence which results notably from samskdraduhkhatdkdra and prajndsvabhd- vatd.
192. In this formula, one undertakes, along with the First Dhyana, Anagamya and Dhyanantara. Compassion is of the six bhumis.
193. "Sravakas, etc. " refer to the Pratyekabuddhas and Prthagjanas.
194. By karund, the Sravakas have simply compassion (karundyante); they experience commiseration, affliction; they do not protect one from the fear of samsdra. But the

Bhagavat, having compassion along with mahdkarund, protects one from the great terror of samsdra.
195. a. Differences between Buddhas, Kosa, iv. 102, trans, p. 685, Bodhisattvabhumi, I. vii, Museon 1911, 173 (life, name, gotra, body); Wassilieff, 286 (314). Kathdvatthu, xxi. 5:the Theravada admits differences, vemattatd, for the body (sarira), the length of life and light (pabhd); the Andhakas admit other differences. Milinda, 285 (differences between Bodhisattvas, family, time period, length of life, stature). Below note 197.
b. Vasubandhu groups together, vii. 28-34, the elements of a Buddhology. Interesting from this point of view are the following passages of the Kola:
i. l. Difference of the wisdom of the Buddha and that of other saints; omniscience (also Kosa, ix). The Buddha and the Bodhisattvas are Bhagavats.
ii. 10. Abandoning of the dyuhsamskdras; victory over the Four Maras.
ii. 44, vii. 41d, 44b. All the qualities (guna) acquired through detachment and actualized at his will.
ii. 44, vi. 24a. The conquest of Bodhi in thirty-four moments. ii. 62. Knowledge of the future.
iii. 94. Time period of the appearance of Buddhas.
iv. 12. Avyakrta mind, "non-absorbed" mind; the Naga. iv. 32. The cult of the Buddha.
iv. 32. The Dharmakaya, refuge; the Rupakaya.
iv. 73. Accepts the gifts made to Stupas.
