Prajñākaragupta (9th cent. A. D.)8 are quoted. Jñānaśrīmitra (first half of the 11th cent. A.D.), who is called Mitrapāda here, is quoted three times: 1) TR 47, 18-19: mitra pādāś ca paravyāpāravāraṇam ity āhuh / (This quotation is so far unidentified) 2) TR 60, 13-14: mitrapādaiḥ svaprakāśam asāmānyam vijñānam itį sammatam / = J 358, 15 (Advaitabinduprakarana) 3) TR 95, 16–18: mitramatam punaḥ anupala(bdha)tā svabhāvasyāpara | svabhāvānupalabdhir evāparasyāparā bhavati kāraṇānupalabdhir vyāpakānu palabdhis cetyādiprakārā / a) note that the manuscript reads: evāparasya pratisedhyasyāparā Cf. J 188, 12-14: api ca anu palabdhiḥ svasyāparasyāparā kāranavyāpakayoh svabhāvānu palabdhir eva / a parasya kāryasya vyāpyasya vāparā kāranānu palabdhir vyāpakānupalabdhis cocyate | (Anupalabdhirahasya) For these reasons it is not possible to accept Kamalaśīla's authorship for the Tarkarahasya.
In referring to the folios the editor did not make use of the numbers clearly written in the manuscript, but gave the number of the glassplate and the number of the folio on it: (P4B/2) = plate 4B, folio 2; (P2A/%) = plate 2A, folio 6, when counted from the bottom to the top (the folios on this plate have been arranged that way), folio 4, when counted from the top to the bottom. While neglecting the original folio numbers it escaped his notice that they indicate a lacuna in the manuscript at two places:
1) (P5B/3) = (39 b) is followed on p. 83, 8 by (P5A/4) = (41 a), thus one folio is missing. The editor did not succeed in constituting a continous text here: 84, 7: tataḥ samānānām bhāvaḥ sāmānyam ity anyarūpavyāvíttam eva (P5A/4) (vi?) paritādisankā na kāryā / Read: tataḥ samānānām bhāvaḥ sāmānyam ity anyarūpavyāvrttam eva (lacuna) (41 a) paritānvayādisankā na kāryā /
2) On p. 109, 12 fol. (P6B/7) = (52 b) is followed by (P6A/8) = (58 a), thus five folios are missing: p. 109, 11: na sāmānyāks ( śr?)ayāviruddham tatsambaddham? (P6A/8) na Read: na sāmānyāks ( śr?) ayāviruddham tatsambaddham (lacuna) (58 a) na /
serves that Dharmottara is not referred to by śāntarakṣita and Kamalasila, and is therefore later than they.
