The Sarva-Darsana-Samgraha: Or, Review of the Different Systems of Hindu Philosophy
Madhava
Philosophy, Hindu; Philosophy, Indic
[Footnote 129: See Ind. Studien, i. 301.]
[Footnote 130: The mind or internal sense perceives soul (see Bháshá
Parichchheda, śloka 49).]
[Footnote 131: Delete the _iti_ in p. 84, line 5, _infra_.]
[Footnote 132: Cf. the Nakulíśa Páśupatas, p. 76, 4 (_supra_, p.
103).]
[Footnote 133: For these three classes see J. A. O. S. iv. pp. 87,
137. They are there described as being respectively under the
influence of _áṇavam malam_ only, or this with _kanmam malam_, or
these with _mayei malam_. The _áṇavam_ is described as original sin,
or that source of evil which was always attached to the soul; _kanmam_
is that fate which inheres in the soul's organism and metes out its
deserts; _mayei_ is matter in its obscuring or entangling power, the
source of the senses. Mádhava uses "_kalá_," &c., for _máyá_. The
reason is to be found in J. A. O. S. p. 70, where it is said that the
five _vidyátattvas_ (_kalá_, _vidyá_, _rága_, _niyati_, and _kalá_)
and the twenty-four _átmatattvas_ (_sc._ the gross and subtile
elements, and organs of sense and action, with the intellectual
faculties _manas_, _buddhi_, _ahaṃkára_, and _chitta_), are all
developed from _máyá_. This exactly agrees with the quotation from
Soma Śambhu, _infra_. We may compare with it what Mádhava says, p. 77,
in his account of the Nakulíśa Páśupatas, where he describes _kalá_ as
unintelligent, and composed of the five elements, the five
_tanmátras_, and the ten organs, with _buddhi_, _ahaṃkára_ and
_manas_.]
[Footnote 134: See J. A. O. S. iv. p. 137. I read _anugrahakaraṇát_ in
p. 86, line 3.]
[Footnote 135: I omit the quotation, as it only repeats the preceding.
It, however, names the three classes as _vijñána-kevala_,
_pralaya-kevala_, and _sakala_.]
[Footnote 136: _I.e._, thus including five of the _vidyátattvas_ and
all the twenty-four _átmatattvas_.]
[Footnote 137: This term seems to be derived from _purí_, "body" (cf.
_puriśaya_ for _purusha_, Bṛihad Ár. Up. ii. 5, 18), and _ashṭaka_
(cf. also the Sánkhya Pravachana Bháshya, p. 135).]
[Footnote 138: Or rather thirty-one?]
[Footnote 139: _Manas_, _buddhi_, _ahaṃkára_, _chitta_.]
[Footnote 140: These are the seven _viḍyá-tattvas_, _kalá_, _kála_,
_niyati_ (fate), _vidyá_, _rága_, _prakṛiti_, and _guṇa_. Hoisington,
however, puts _purushan_ "the principle of life," instead of _guṇa_,
which seems better, as the three _guṇas_ are included in _prakṛiti_.
He translates _kalá_ by "continency," and describes it as "the power
by which the senses are subdued and the carnal self brought into
subjection."]
[Footnote 141: This "instrument" (_karaṇa_) seems to mean what
Hoisington calls _purushan_ or "the principle of life which
establishes or supports the whole system in its operation;" he makes
it one of the seven _vidyátattvas_. According to Mádhava, it should be
what he calls _guṇa_.]
