अथ चतुःषशिकलाः शैवतन्त्रोक्ता लिख्यन्ते। गौतं वाचं नृत्यं
91 adei...... aachatai faguarai fagufafa €81 Dr. Rājendralāla Mitra, after a long dissertation in pp. 289-90, L. VI. 2228 comes to the conclusion that this is the work which should be called Sāmkhyasūtra, and his reasons are given in those pages. I come to the same conclusion, but from very different reasons. The form, in which the work is cast, is that of works in the Sūtra literature, अथातस्तत्त्वसमासाख्यसांख्यसूत्राणि व्याख्यास्यामः and at the end of every section the word qiela: occurs.
एवमेघ सांख्यपुरुषो व्याख्यातः; एवमेतत्तिविधस्य करणस्य अध्यात्ममधिभूतमधिदैवतञ्च व्याख्यातं; इत्येकादशेन्द्रियवधा
areat:; fafaut wait zieta: 1 I believe, this Sūtra work was composed by some follower of the Samkhya school at a period when this form of writing was considered to be the most suitable for all serious purposes. Some centuries B.C., Kapila was already a great name. And the doctrine embodied in the 22 or 25 Sūtras was well known. So, the unknown author makes Kapila the spokesman not only of those 22 or 25 principles but also of all details known down to his time. Dr. Rājendralāla thinks that this is the most ancient work on Sāmkhya and his position seems to be unassailable.
