khya philosophy with a quotation from Sir Monier Monier-Williams. "Obviously too its view of all existing things is even inore atheistical than that of the earliest Naiyayikas. For if the creation produced by the evolver, Prakriti, has an existence of its own, independent of all connection with the particular Purusha to which it is joined, there can be no need for an intelligent Creator of the world or even of any superintending power.”
We have treated rather at length the San. khya phylosophy ;- the doctrines of which have been gathered mainly from Sir Monier Monier-Williams' Indian Wisdom;' F. Max Muller's ‘Six Systeins of Indian philosophy" and Colebrooke's Essays on the Religion and and Philosophy of the Hindoos '--and also the Vedanta philosophy, because we think it quite essential for a student of Buddhism and Jainisin to grasp clearly the main doctrines of these two great philosophical schools with which India was saturated in those days.
