Some notes on the Sarvadarsanasamgraha 251 1. 878. samudacara. It is likely that the Buddhist use of the word was adopted here. Cf. Sthiramati's commentary on the Trimsika by Vasubandhu, p. 42, 22 etc. 1. 881. The simile of vesya and mother is mentioned in Samkhyasutra IV. Cf. Sankara ad Bshad. Up. II, 1, 20 (pp. 297--8, AnSS); Suresvara's Bihad. Up. Varttika II, 1, verses 506ff.; p. 970ff.; Bihad. Up. Sambandhavarttika, v. 233, p. 71. The simile of a wealthy merchant and his depraved son in the Saddharma pundarika-sutra also conveys the same purport. 1. 889. The simile of the king for this purpose is mentioned in Bihad. Up. Varttika, 970f. 11. 901-902. This verse implies anubandhacatustaya, which was formalized in later philosophical works such as the Vedantasara. This form had been resorted to in Buddhist treatises such as the Prasannapada, the Abhisamayalankaraloka, the Nyayamukha, the Vijnaptimatratasiddhi-ratnagati-sastra (Taisho, No. 1591) etc. 1. 904. tatastha. Cf. SDS. XVI, 1. 531. . 11. 910-911. A similar stanza is found in Brhad. Up. Varttika, p. 987: jagajjanisthitidhvamsa yasmat sidhyanti tatparam! brahmeti prakpratijnaya yathavad upadarsitam || 1. 909. vivarame. Calcutta Sanskrit Series edition, p. 869. 1. 917. pratipattividhi. Used by Sankara (ad BS. I, 1, 4). "Die Ver ehrung und Vorschriften" (DEUSSEN); "injunctions" (THIBAUT). Madhava, the author of the Sarvadarsana-sangraha, is called at the beginning of his work as follows: "Having thoroughly searched the texts of former teachers, very hard to be crossed, the fortunate Sayana-Madhava the lord has expounded them for the delight of the good. Who does not find delight in a garland strung of various flowers ?" I hope this garland will be offered to the master in Vienna on the happy occasion of his jubilee.
