Studies in Haribhadrasūri
carama-pariyaṭṭe / Taha bhavvatama-lakkhaya-bhāvā accamtasuddhutti //1//244
Of the fourth Vimśikā, and first half of the 8th verse, viz., 'Eyammi sahaja-mala-bhāva-vigamao suddha-dhammasampatti/45 is in effect a free metrical rendering of the sentence:
'Sudhamma-sampatti pāva-kamma-vigamão, pāva-kammavigamo taha-bhavvattādi-bhāvāo.46
(x) The sentences in the third Sūtra are as follows: 'Tao anunnae paḍivajjejja dhammam/Annahā aṇuvahe cevovahājutte siya/Dhammārāhaṇaṁ khu hiyaṁ savva-sattāṇam/Tahā taheyaṁ sampāḍejjā/Savvahā a-paḍivajjmāne ca ejja te atthāṇagilāņosahatthacāganāeṇam'//47
128
Some of the following aphorisms of Haribhadrasūri's Dharma-bindu can be compared favourably with the above
sentences:
Tathā-Gurujanājñeti //23//
Tathā tathôpadhayoga iti //24// Duḥsvapnādi-katham iti //25//
Tathā-viparyaya-linga-seceti //26// Devajñais tatha nivedanam iti //27//. Na dharme mayeti //28//
Ubhaya-hitam etaditi //29//
Yatha-sakti sauhity-āpādanam iti //30// Glānauṣadhādi-jñāt tat tyāga iti //31//48
The astonishing feature here that a more or less exact paraphrase of the aphorisms 23, 24, and 31 from amongst the ones quoted above, is directly met with in the original textual matter, while the sense of the remaining aphorisms is found in the commentary of the fourth Viṁśikā.49 This strongly corroborates the view that Haribhadrasuri himself is the author of both the Pañca-sūtra and its commentary.
