  • “Due praise has been एकांत to the remarkable edition of the Tattva- samgraha by Embar Krishnamacharya, accompanied by an excellent Introduction, and to the Foreward where the General Editor છાં tie Gaekwad’s Series has given much પડલ information.”
  • “The beautiful analysis of the nature of Bodhisattva, p, 872, owes also much to Vasubandhu’s Koa.”
  • “This theory that the Buddha himself did not preach is an old one: the Vibhasa explains at length that men will not believe what men say, because men are liars, But they will have confidence in the word of trees, because trees, not being “living beings” (satfva), do not lie.”
