APPENDIX I
6. All the three characteristics of sat enumerated by Umasvati make their appearance in Nägärjuna's Madhyamakasastra 7.33 in the totally different context, 'upada sthiti-bhangdnam-a siddher-nästi samskytam, samskṛtam, and it is not likely the source of Unasvati's formulation of the nature of reality. Similar concept seems to be traceable in the Anguttara nikaya I. for which refer to N. J. Shah: Akalanka's Criticism of Dharmakirti's Philosophy, p. 4, n. 8
7.
This is opined by D. D. Malvania.

10. Some scholars maintain that the Digambara version of the T. S. existed before Pūjayapada's time as he notes some variant readings in the Sarvärtthasiddhi. Pujyapada notes two variants, i. e., 'kṣipraniḥsrta' for the reading 'ksiprāniḥsṛta' in I: (16), and 'caramadeha' for 'caramottama-deha" in II (53). The original text reads them, 'ksipraniśrita' in 1:16 and 'carama-dehottama-purusa' in II:52. 1:16(16) has many other variants, and II:52 shows redundancy in statement which therefore can be improved at any time. Since these two variant readings occur in the original aphorisms, it is difficult to support the thesis proposed by these scholars.
11. Various dates suggested for Pujyapāda are:
3rd century A. D.
4th
5th
Motilal Ladha (308 V. S.)
J. L. Jaini (before 308 Śaka)
Sukhlal, Jugalkishor, Kailascandra
Latter half of the 5th
to the latter half of the 6th century V. S. 7th century A. D.
Phulcandra
