His knowledge of Sanskrit is not very reliable as can be seen from such spellings as Ghandāpāda (p. 251), Khangaviņānakalpa (p. 339), Paramapitsbuddha (p. 263; Tib. dam-pa sars-rgyas), etc. Lopez does not seem to have consulted Sanskrit texts. For instance, ICan-skya rol-pa'i-rdorje often quotes the Lankāvatāra but no reference is made to the Sanskrit text. In one instance, Lopez points out that the Tibetan translation of stanzas from it cited by ICan-skya rol-pa'i-rdo-rje and by Santaraksita differs from that found in the Peking edition (chapter 13, note 7), but does not quote the Sanskrit text which has:
cittamātram samāruhya bāhyam artham na kalpayet / tathatālambane sthitvā cittamātram atikramet // cittamātram atikramya nirābhāsam atikramet/ nirābhāsasthito yogi mahāyānam na pasyet // (ed. Bunyiu Nanjio,
pp. 298–299). Lopez is very inconsistent with regard to the identification of quotations, the sources of which are indicated in some cases but not in others. Sometimes an identification is too vague to be useful. On p. 291 ICan-skya rolpa'i-rdo-rje quotes Maitreya. Lopez adds that this quotation comes from the Mahāyānasūtrālamkāra but without giving a precise reference. I have been unable to trace this quotation in the Mahāyānasūtrālamkāra.
It will be a task for the future to confront the opinions of Tson-kha-pa and later Tibetan scholars with the original Svātantrika texts. It is to be hoped that Eckel's translations of the eighteenth and the twenty-fourth chapters of Bhāvaviveka's Prajñāpradīpa will soon be published. A complete English translation of Buddhapālita by Akira Saito will soon be published by Motilal Banarsidass. A complete translation of Bhāvaviveka's commentary is an urgent desideratum.
