existence, and the attempt to use it to answer the question of how something can come into being, became superfluous, and the weaknesses of the earlier solution, such as its vagueness (when exactly does the preexistence of a jar begin?), could not but contribute to its decline. The earlier solution was not just refuted, worse, it was forgotten, and noone talked about it any more. I do not exclude that this change of position of the Vaisesika thinkers is responsible for the fact that the Katandi and its commentary by Prasastapada, once the main works of the school, soon stopped to be handed down. Prasastapada's Padarthadharmasangraha, on the other hand, does not touch the question of origination; is this the reason that it continued to be handed down in a fairly large number of manuscript copies until today? It is hard to prove these suspicions, but I would like to suggest, in conclusion, that the loss of philosophical texts may in certain cases have been occasioned by the fact that points of view changed.
