________________ (14) Bahyarthasiddhikarika of Subhagupta (M. Hattori) and his successors are known to have interpreted Dharmakirti's theory from the Sautrantika viewpoint; but no conclusive evidence in support of the guru-sisya relation between the two has been obtained so far. All we can say quite safely is that Subhagupta flourished after Dharmakirti and before Santaraksita and Haribhadrasuri: that is to say, his date can be fixed at ca. 650-750 A. D. While, this paper was being printed, I was presented dy Dr. E. Frauwallner with an article published in WZKSOA, Bd. I, a footnote of which urged me to refer to his another article "Dignaga und anderes" published in the Festschrift Moriz Winternitz. He proved therein already the identy of Subhagupta with Dge-sruns, basing upon the same sources that I made reference to. I regret for my inattention to this article. However, the list of identification and brief accounts of Subhagupta's arguments, which were left unpublished by Dr. Frauwallner, may not be of no value. -395
