________________ 33 A NOTE ON MAHABHASYA II 366.26 85) Cf. also Chakravarti, o. c., p. 260: "...its palasahood remains intact always...". - In this connection it may be noted that the maxim (=Paribhasa 37 in Nagesa's Paribhasendusekhara) ekadesavikrtam ananyavad bhavati refers according to e. g. M. I 136. 9 f. likewise to the generic identity. 86) Cf. the article mentioned in fn., p. 375 et passim. 87) O.c., p. 258. 88) O.c., p. 264 (referred to also in fn. 2, p. 258 f.). 89) Viz. (366. 22 ff.): nanu parinaminam gunanam katham nityata syad iti braviti--y a s min pa rina m a m a ne t att vam na vihan yate / yasya yad rupam pramanenopalabdham, tasya tat tattvam / tad yasmin na vihanyate na vyabhicarati tad api nityam / gunanam api sukha duhkhamohatmata prakasakriyasthitisilata ca tattvam na vihanyate / tasmad ete 'pi parinamanityah /. 90) Quoted above p. 19. 91) See above p. 8.. 92) L. c. (cf. fn. 44 above), p. 27. 93) Cf. Hacker's course of lectures entitled "Grundlagen indischer Dichtung und indischen Den kens ", which was recorded in 1978 and will be edited by K. Ruping in the near future in the de Nobili series published in Vienna). Cf. also Frauwallner, Die Philosophie des Buddhis mus, Berlin 1958, p. 96. 94) Space being limited-and I am afraid that I have already taken too much of it-I cannot deal here also with the parallel to this definition of dravya, found in the Yogabhasya on YS 3. 44, to which attention has been drawn among others by Nagesa (e. g. Uddyota IV 299a 30 f.), and with the passage in Nagesa's Manjusa in which the relation between these two definitions of dravya is discussed. It remains for the future to follow up these references in an article which will form a sort of addendum to the present one. Suffice it to say here that I don't think that the Yogabhasya passage forms an additional and independent testimony which should also be taken into account in determining the doctrinal provenance of the definition referred to in the M.
