[Footnote 239: Watters, Yuean Chwang, II. 221-224. Nanjio, 1237. The works of Gunamati also are said to show a deep knowledge of the Sankhya philosophy.]
[Footnote 240: For the history of logic in India, see Vidyabhusana’s interesting work Mediaeval School of Indian Logic, 1909. But I cannot accept all his dates.]
[Footnote 241: Dinnaga’s principal works are the Pramana-samuccaya and the Nyaya-pravesa. Hsuean Chuang calls him Ch’en-na. See Watters, II. 209. See Stcherbatskoi in Museon, 1904, pp. 129-171 for Dinnaga’s influence on the development of the Naiyayika and Vaiseshika schools.]
[Footnote 242: His personal name is said to have been P’u-ti-to-lo and his surname Ch’a-ti-li. The latter is probably a corruption of Kshatriya. Hsiang-Chih possibly represents a name beginning with Gandha, but I can neither find nor suggest any identification.]
[Footnote 243: See B.E.F.E.O. 1903, pp. 379 ff.]
[Footnote 244: His evil deeds are several times mentioned by Hsuean Chuang. It required a miracle to restore the Bo tree.]
[Footnote 245: See Ettinghausen, Harshavardhana, Appendix III.]
[Footnote 246: The appearance of Gauri as a dea ex machina at the end hardly shows that Harsha’s Buddhism had a Saktist tinge but it does show that Buddhists of that period turned naturally to Sivaite mythology.]
[Footnote 247: Harshacarita, chap. VII. The parrots were expounding Vasubandhu’s Abhidharma-kosa. Bana frequently describes troops of holy men apparently living in harmony but including followers of most diverse sects. See Kadambari, 193 and 394: Harshacar. 67.]
[Footnote 248: It is curious that Bana (Harshacarita, VII.) says of this prince that from childhood he resolved never to worship anyone but Siva.]
[Footnote 249: The Rashtra-pala-paripriccha (Ed. Finot, pp. ix-xi, 28-33) inveighs against the moral degeneration of the Buddhist clergy. This work was translated into Chinese between 589 and 618, so that demoralisation must have begun in the sixth century.]
[Footnote 250: See Rhys Davids in J.R.A.S. 1891, pp. 418 ff.]
[Footnote 251: Hsuean Chuang was not disposed to underrate the numbers of the Mahayana for he says that the monks of Ceylon were Mahayanists.]
[Footnote 252: See the beginning of the Kathavatthu. The doctrine is formulated in the words Puggalo upalabbhati saccikatthaparamatthenati, and there follows a discussion between a member of the orthodox school and a Puggalavadin, that is one who believes in the existence of a person, soul or entity which transmigrates from this world to another.]
[Footnote 253: Sam. Nik. XXII. 221.]
[Footnote 254: This use of Nikaya must not be confused with its other use to denote a division of the Sutra-Pitaka. It means a group or collection and hence can be used to denote either a body of men or a collection of treatises. These Nikayas are also not the same as the four schools (Vaibhashikas, etc.), mentioned above, which were speculative. Similarly in Europe a Presbyterian may be a Calvinist, but Presbyterianism has reference to Church government and Calvinism to doctrine.
