? Translator's Introduction
A hisvolumeisthethirdintheprojectedfourvolumetranslationof Louis de La Vallee Poussin's translation of Vasubandhu's Abhidhar- makosabhdsyam. This present volume contains the translation of Chapter V (anusaya-nirdefa, "The Latent Defilements") and Chapter VI (marga-pudgala-nirdesa, "The Path and the Saints"), together with their footnotes.
Chapter V contains some interesting sections: a refutation of the idea of the creation of the world through the work of a deity, together with a refutation of non-Buddhist ascetical practices (kdrikd 8 and bhdsyam); an analysis of pride (10 and 11); a discussion of morally neutral error (20); a long discussion of the "undefined points", that is, the different types of responses that the Buddha made to different questions, and the significance of these responses (22); an interesting discussion on the question, Do past and future defilements actually exist? (25a); a definition of the word sarvdstivada, and a discussion of how the dharmas exist especially in the past and the future, leading in turn into a long discussion of "past" and "future", leading again to a discussion of whether something that does not absolutely exist can be an object of consciousness (25c-d to 27d). This Chapter concludes with a discussion of the order in which the defilements are produced (32c), and of the minor defilements (46). A number of the footnotes to this Chapter are of interest: footnote 22 gives an account of the abandoning of the defilements in Pali sources, footnote 27 gives the Sautrantika explanation of the updddnaskandhas from the Chinese sources of Hsiian-tsang, and footnotes 26 and 28 give a good analysis of satkdya and satkdyadrsti.
Chapter VI details the Path leading to perfect knowledge, a knowledge that cuts off the defilements. Sections of note in this Chapter are: a discussion of the Four Noble Truths, and the significance of their order {kdrikd 2 and bhdsyam); the question is asked and discussed: is all sensation painful? , and this leads to a discussion of the different types of suffering (3); a discussion of the
? two levels of truth, relative truth and absolute truth (4; see also footnote 43); the preliminary practice of meditation (5); a visualization of loathsome things (asubhabhdvand, 9) and the cultivation of mindfulness of breathing (dndpdnasmrti, 12), --practices leading to stilling (samatha), followed by the cultiva- tion of the foundations of mindfulness, -- a practice leading to insight (vipafyana); there is a presentation of the various states of attainments, Heat (17a),the Summits (or "Heads", 17c-d), Patience (18c), and the Supreme Worldly Dharmas (19c); the persons (pudgala) in whom the path arises (29a-b); the methods of obtaining Nirvana (37a-c); the religious life (54a-b); the Dharmacakra as the Path of Seeing(darsanamdrga, 54c); a discussion of "occasional" {sdmayiki) deliverance (56c and following); the concept of gotra (57b and 58c); a discussion as to whether the defilements have a non-existent thing for their object (58b); a discussion as to whether an Arhat can fall away from the state of Arhat; the thirty-seven adjutants of Bodhi (the bodhipd- ksikas, 67a-b); the four types of faith which accompany intelli- gence (73c); deliverance (yimukti, 75d); and the difference between right knowledge and right views (76d).
The Path to holiness was a subject of special interest to Louis de La Valle'e Poussin, and he wrote a long introductory note on the topic, and this "Summary Note on the Path" serves as an introduction to this volume.

? Foreword
1. 1 am grateful for the generosity of the Foundation Universitaire which continues its indispensable goodwill towards Vasubandhu and his unworthy interpreter. My friend J. -B. Istas also deserves my thanks. Owing to his asammusta attention the errors of orthography are, I hope, very few.
2. With this volume, I have finished the translation of two-thirds of the Kosa. There remain Chapters VII and VIII {the jndnas and the "qualities" which consist of jndnas, and the absorptions and the "qualities" which consist of absorption), and the short "Treatise on the Refutation of the Pudgala" which is customarily regarded as the Ninth Chapter: this will be the contents of a volume which will appear in 1925. Finally we must take up again the Third Chapter whose translation in "Cosmologie bouddhique" (Kegan Paul, Trench, etc. , 1918) leaves much to be desired. And finally I shall have to fill this long work with introductions, notes, and indices which will facilitate their use.
3. In 1913-1914 I translated the Fifth Chapter from the Tibetan and J. -B. Istas has partially printed my translation. Here it is taken up again and improved
The Sixth Chapter has benefited from favorable circumstances. I made use of the Cambridge MSS--which Miss Ridding and myself copied in 1915--and from the xylograph in the India Office. Close collaboration with Miss Ridding and with E. J. Thomas led to the appearance of an English version very carefully researched from the point of view of English equivalents. A study of Paramartha, Hsiian-tsang, and the notes by Kyokuga Saeki, much though it may have enriched the commentary, has not notably changed the work that we did in Cambridge.
I considered that, without the aid of an outline which would elucidate uncertain points, the Sixth Chapter would be truly awkward

to read. A note on the Path will therefore be found here. ***
A Summary Note on the Path.
1. There is acquisition of the "roots of good which produce deliverance" (moksabhdgtya kusalamula, iii. 44c, iv. 124, vi. 24c, vii. 30, 34)--which are thoughts or actions inspired by the desire for deliverance (Nirvana)--in an existence preceding the immediate preparation of the Path (vi. 24d).
2. There is acquisition of the dryavamsas, vi. 5-8), moral qualities which make a perfect monk. In principle, it is considered that entry to the Path presupposes the quality of a monk, certainly the Pratimoksasamvara, the quality of Upasaka (iv, English translation p. 598, 680).

This Chapter concludes with a discussion of the order in which the defilements are produced (32c), and of the minor defilements (46).

? Foreword
1. 1 am grateful for the generosity of the Foundation Universitaire which continues its indispensable goodwill towards Vasubandhu and his unworthy interpreter. My friend J. -B. Istas also deserves my thanks. Owing to his asammusta attention the errors of orthography are, I hope, very few.
2. With this volume, I have finished the translation of two-thirds of the Kosa. There remain Chapters VII and VIII {the jndnas and the "qualities" which consist of jndnas, and the absorptions and the "qualities" which consist of absorption), and the short "Treatise on the Refutation of the Pudgala" which is customarily regarded as the Ninth Chapter: this will be the contents of a volume which will appear in 1925. Finally we must take up again the Third Chapter whose translation in "Cosmologie bouddhique" (Kegan Paul, Trench, etc. , 1918) leaves much to be desired. And finally I shall have to fill this long work with introductions, notes, and indices which will facilitate their use.
3. In 1913-1914 I translated the Fifth Chapter from the Tibetan and J. -B. Istas has partially printed my translation. Here it is taken up again and improved
The Sixth Chapter has benefited from favorable circumstances. I made use of the Cambridge MSS--which Miss Ridding and myself copied in 1915--and from the xylograph in the India Office. Close collaboration with Miss Ridding and with E. J. Thomas led to the appearance of an English version very carefully researched from the point of view of English equivalents. A study of Paramartha, Hsiian-tsang, and the notes by Kyokuga Saeki, much though it may have enriched the commentary, has not notably changed the work that we did in Cambridge.
I considered that, without the aid of an outline which would elucidate uncertain points, the Sixth Chapter would be truly awkward

to read. A note on the Path will therefore be found here. ***
A Summary Note on the Path.
1. There is acquisition of the "roots of good which produce deliverance" (moksabhdgtya kusalamula, iii. 44c, iv. 124, vi. 24c, vii. 30, 34)--which are thoughts or actions inspired by the desire for deliverance (Nirvana)--in an existence preceding the immediate preparation of the Path (vi. 24d).
2. There is acquisition of the dryavamsas, vi. 5-8), moral qualities which make a perfect monk. In principle, it is considered that entry to the Path presupposes the quality of a monk, certainly the Pratimoksasamvara, the quality of Upasaka (iv, English translation p. 598, 680).
