It is well known that Sankhya philosophers explain pleasure, pain, etc in soul by the analogy of a pure crystal and a red flower placed before it, Similarly, they explain karlsiva of soul by an instance of a magnet and iron filaments. Again, it is the Sankhya-Yoga idea that puruşa is clearly reflected in Intellect (citta) when Intellect is completely devoid of the modes (vrttis). All these Sankhya-Yoga ideas with their characteristic Sankhya-Yoga expressions occur in the present work. Study the following lines : (9) qalaqafia x decurs fifa ax: (I. 17) Fafe aforfarsit
yasalah wafa fafanua Tà:1 (I. 18) (3) faforritSHES fata Fuit aftar 1 (III. 6) (३) विकल्पजालकल्लोललोले किल मनोजले। नात्मा स्फुरति चिद्रूपस्तोयचन्द्र इव स्फुटम् ॥ III. 1
The author is fond of Sānkhya terminology. Even in the commentary he often employs Sankhya terms, viz. puruşa, praksti, guna, vivekakhyati, etc. This work clearly brings out the fact that the Advaita and the Sankhya philosophies have greatly influenced Ac. Kundakunda's thinking and theorising. Ahmedabad
