RAMKRISHNA BHATTACHARYA
SAMBODHI
kah kantakasya, etc. (v. 6 below), are more oft-quoted than others. Most of the verses purporting to represent the basic idea seem to have been composed by its opponents when they are engaged in the exposition of the exponent's view (pūrvapakşa). Critics held different, and even totally contradictory, views about this doctrine.
But more of that hereafter. At first, I propose to give all the verses I have been able to locate in various sources (with variants noted), followed by an English translation. The problems regarding the doctrine itself will be pointed out in the Afterword. Further elaboration will be made on some other occasion.
