GENERAL TENDENCIES
115 as a condition to be attained after death is incompatible. for instance, with the Svabhāva-vāda, which did not look forward to a future life, and it should naturally have represented the ideal as achievable within the limits of the present one. But on account of the early mixing up of doctrines, already mentioned, it is difficult to be sure about it.
Compare in this connection ADS. II. xxi. 14-16.
