The following notes on Bauddha doctrines are taken exclusively from the commentaries on the Sa@nkarabhâshya, and no attempt has been made to contrast or reconcile the Brahminical accounts of Bauddha psychology with the teaching of genuine Bauddha books. Cp. on the chief sects of the Buddhistic philosophers the Bauddha chapter of the Sarvadarsanasamgraha.—The Nihilists are the Mádhyamikas; the Idealists are the Yogâkâras; the Sautrântikas and the Vaibháshikas together constitute the class of the Realists.—I subjoin the account given of those sects in the Brahmavidyâbharana.—Buddhasya hi mâdhyamika-yogákâra-sautrântika-vaibhâshikasamj ñakâs katvârah sishyâh.

The rûpaskandha comprises the senses and their objects, colour, &c.; the sense-organs were above called bhautika, they here re-appear as kaittika on account of their connexion with thought. Their objects likewise are classed as kaittika in so far as they are perceived by the senses.—The vijñânaskandha comprises the series of self-cognitions (ahamaham ity âlayavjñânapravâhah), according to all commentators; and in addition, according to the Brahmavidyâbharana, the knowledge, determinate and indeterminate, of external things (savikalpakam nirvikalpakam ka pravrittivijñânasamjñitam).—The vedanâskandha comprises pleasure, pain, &c.—The samjñâskandha comprises the cognition of things by their names (gaur asva ityâdisabdasamjalpitapratyayah, Ân. Gi.; gaur asva ityevam nâmavisishtasavikalpakah pratyayah, Go. Ân.; samjñâ yajñadattâdipadatadullekhî savikalpapratyayo vâ, dvitîyapakshe vijñânapadena savikalpapratyayo na grâhyh, Brahmavidyâbh.). The samskâraskandha comprises passion, aversion, &c., dharma and adharma.—Compare also the Bhâmatî.—The vijñânaskandha is kitta, the other skandhas kaitta.

Footnote 386:[(return)]

It has to be kept in view that the sarvâstitvavâdins as well as the other Bauddha sects teach the momentariness (kshanikatva), the eternal flux of everything that exists, and are on that ground controverted by the upholders of the permanent Brahman.

Footnote 387:[(return)]

Mind, on the Bauddha doctrine, presupposes the existence of an aggregate of atoms, viz. the body.
