NOTES ON THE THIRD CHAPTER (ON JAINISM)
OF THE SARVADARŠANASAMGRAHA
The Third Chapter (on Ārhatadarśana) of the Sarvadarśanasamgraha by Madhava has been esteemed as a brief and good introduction to Jain philosophy and read by many students of Indian philosophy. It was translated into English by E. B. Cowell and A. E. Gough in The Sarva-darśana-samgraha or Review of the Different Systems of Hindu Philosophy (London, Kegan Paul, Trench, Trübner and Co. 4th ed., 1904), pp. 36-63, and by Paul Deussen in his Allgemeine Geschichte der Philosophie, I,3, Die Nachvedische Philosophie der Inder (Leipzig, F. A. Brockhaus, 1922), S. 231-258. As the work of translation was done by excellent scholars, the results are good. But, to our regret, they did not trace the citations to the originals. In the following we are going to trace the citations to the sources, and to give some critical comments. As the basis for the reference we shall use the edition by Vasudev Shastri Abhyankar (Government Oriental (Hindu) Series, No. 1. Published by the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute, Poona, 1924). The numbers of the lines refer to those in the third chapter of this edition. 1.9: praváha = samtāna. Cf. Bodhic.f. p. 255,1.8; p. 369, 1.3; MVỊ. p. 545, n. 6;
AKV. p. 29,1.16; Trimsikā, ed. by S. Lévi, p. 22,1.2. 1.10: yat sat tat kşaņikam... An argumentation for impermanence set forth by
Dharmakirti. Cf. SDS. II, 1.117. 11.18-21: yasminn eva... This verse is cited from Slokavārttika, Nirālambanavāda,
v. 200. Upasicyate instead of avasicyate. Cf. Bodhic. 1. ad IX,73 (p. 306,1.12). 1.22: Kāśakuśāvalambana. Cf. SDS. XIII, 1.169. 1.26: Cf. arthakriyasamartham paramarthasad ucyate. Nyāyabinduţikā (ed. by
Stcherbatsky) ad I, 15. p. 13,1.19. 1.28: utpädavyaya... This is a citation from Umāsvāti's Tattvärthadhigamasutra V, 29. 11.28-29: samarthyāsāmarthya... Cf. SDS. II, 1.62f. 1.38: Siddhasena Divākara. He is by some scholars ascribed to the earlier centuries
of the Christian era, and by others to a period as late as the 7th century (M. Winternitz: A History of Indian Literature, vol. II, p. 477). J. N. Farquhar (An Outline of the Religious Literature of India, p. 400) ascribes him to the 4th or 5th century. The verse cited here is Vitarāgastuti, v. 18 of Hemacandra.
