Sarakhyamaaka Kadhara
It may be noted that the Samkhya theory of colutloa (paripile) frote • primordial matter is substantially changed by Midhaya, bo in setting the plurality of primordial matters, stand closer to the Vauterikes them to the orthodox Samkhyas From another passage quoted by Jinendrabuddhi from Madbhava's treatise we know that Midbava differs from older Samkhya teachers in holding that pradhana possesses ripa, etc, consists of parts and evolves by the energy which is preceded by karman, aod the Sathsara is beginningless
Madbhava's "unding that pradhana pored by kormonly
Madbava further states that one sound-atom, for tuample, in trekt constituted of the three gunas, and therefore hus three characters, Auth, duhkha and moha Sound being composed of sound-atoms has these three characters, still each particular sound is characterised as swth, duit o moha, According to wbether sativa, rajas of tands predominados. And no one apprehends a souod as sukha, dukkha or moha, but not # sound in general possessing three characters.
Dinnaga argues that the samo principle would hold for troglblar and other such objects That is to say, one would apprehend these obyects as sukha, duhkha or moha, not as tangibles, etc porsessing the three characters. Consequendy all kinds of objects would be appreheaded by the Mme som Therefore, this theory of Madhava is inappropriate Still, says Dias , POUR ita dethroning the view of the older Samkhyal, Madbara's doctrine of the possession by atoms of each its own nature is excellent Disor comoodus that the portion of bus theory, 18 which setting aside the view of the renowned older Samkhya teachers, Madhava explains that the destination (jati-oisesa) among the effects (1e sounds, tangibles etc.) resulta from the distinction among atoms possessing their respective nature, u erorteat. However, the doctrine that the three gunes form as aom which point only one quality is something Diapaga cannot accept.
It seems that finding it difficult to explain the evolution froe Prush as admitted by the older Samkhya teachers (1e-08c, undtierentiated, and so on), some revolutionaries among the Sankhya fet secondary to modify the doctrine The atom-theory of the Vascyika a chuowledged to have been introduced into the Samkhya system of thought at the time of Vindbyavasin, and in his wake Mydhan tried to make the system periaat by removing glaring anomalies finendrabuddhl very pointedly ways that according to Kepila and others, the Oature of pleasure, etc. one everywhece, whereas according to Midhave, they are different everywhere
