________________ 21 Summary : Adhyaya VIII of mindfulness (smtityupasthanas) and great compassion (mahakaruna). These qualities appear only in the Buddha on his attainment of the bodhi, i.e. the kshaya-jnana. [Karikas 496-497] The treatment of this topic is not much different from the Bhashya. We may, however, note that a Mahayanist term sarvakarajnata is mentioned in the Vritti in its description of the sarvatra-gamini-jnana-bala. Its definition of the term dhatu (in the nanadhatubala) is identical with Samghabhadra's definition quoted by Yasomitra. [Karikas 517-533] The fourth pada deals with jnanas which are not exclusive to the Buddha. They are six abhijnas, three vidyas, three pratiharyas and such other intellectual powers obtained by yogic practices. The only notable point here is the view of the Dipakara about the three vidyas which is identical with Samghabhadra's view, quoted and accepted by Yasomitra. Adhyaya VIII : [Karikas 534-546] This last Adhyaya deals with samatha or samadhi. Details about the three kinds of dhyanas (sasrava, suddha, anasrava) and the five angas (vitarka, vichara, priti, sukha, upeksha) are given in the first pada. Various controversies on the nature and number of the five angas, contained in the Bhashya, are not to be traced in the present incomplete Vtitti. .. [Karikas 547-554] The second pada contains controversies on anejya (unshakable) and four arupa-dhyanas. The Vtitti here is rather brief, compared to the Bhashya. The last portion of the second pada, cantaining controversies on the dhyanantaras is lost. . [Karikas 554-563] The third pada contains brief criticisms of the Brahmanical conceptions of dhyata, dhyana, and dhyeya, and also of the controversy over karma-marga and jnanamarga. It also contains a criticism of the Vedic mantras. The Vritti in this connection mentions the mantras of Parasika, Sabara and Kapalika and criticises the casteism of the Brahmanas. These points are not found in the Bhashya.
