VARIOUS VIEWS ON SVABHĀVA: A CRITICAL SURVEY
53
unfounded. The doctrine was not associated with any of the religious or philosophical schools
known to us.
53. For a detailed exposition of Haribhadra's view, see R. Bhattacharya, 2001. 54. GV, 2. 25 (1643), p. 131. The verse is followed by a refutation of svabhāvavāda.
Svabhāvavāda is again mentioned in 5. 237-45 (1785-93). 55. NM, ch. 3, pp. 387-88. The passage from the Br. Up. runs as follows; "The one of pure
knowledge ( vijñānaghana), appearing out of these forms of matter, gets dissolved again only into them; there is no awareness (saṁjña) after death" (4. 5. 13). I have quoted from M. K. Gangopadhyaya's trans. in CIL, p. 157. Other translators of Br. Up., following Sankara's commentary, mostly offer a grabled version, presumably to dilute the materialist content of the passage. See also C/L, p. 114, where Gangopdhyaya writes
*consciousness' for vijñānaghana. For SDS see the Parimal ed., p. 4. 56. NM, ch. 3, p. 388. 57. I. 4. 3. (on Nirukta, 1. 19), pp. 110-11. 58. SSi, Golādhyāya 5. 59. Sše, 15.2. 60. See R. Bhattacharya, July 2001, pp. 19-23. 61. See R. Bhattacharya, April 2001, pp. 179-184. 62. YT, 1: 382, vv 60-61.
