example yenägnis tena gataḥ, found both in the Candra-vyakaraṇa (on CS 2.2.8) and the Käsikä (on P. 2.1.14). This seems no doubt "typical Buddhist idiom", even though it may not be completely unknown to Brahmanical literature." It is however to be noted that this idiom occurs, in Buddhist Sanskrit literature, almost exclusively with upa-sam-kram, upa-gam, and upa-i, and probably never with only gam." Of slightly (but how much?) more weight may be the expression dasabhamakam sūtram considered above, and the expression ajaryam aryasam gatam (which resembles Aryaśüra's Jätakamälä 22.88) both in the Candra-vṛtti (on CS 1.1.116) and in the Käsikä (on P. 3.1.105). It is, finally, hoped that a misinterpretation introduced into the "second index fossil" by Scharfe has now been cleared away.

21. Oberlies (1996) finds fault with this remark (p. 271 n. 17), and turns the situation on its head on p. 314: "[Es] wird deutlich geworden sein, dass es keinen zwingenden Grund gibt zu zweifeln, dass Candrasütra/-vrtti... der Käsika bekannt [war]. Es bleibt daher zu hoffen, dass zukünftig diese Abhängigkeit nur auf Grund wirklicher schlüssiger Indizien in Frage gestellt
werden wird..."
