Excerpt: ...his text, gives the word as in the Bhdshya, yatrakdmdvasayitwam; and explains it, 'he who accomplishes his desires, to whatever they may be directed:1 and he illustrates it by saying that' an arhat, or Bauddha saint, can, by virtue of this faculty, convert poison into ambrosia, and administer it as means of vitality.' XXIV. Consciousness is egotism. Thence proceeds a twofold creation. The elevenfold set is one: the five elemental rudiments are the other. BHASHYA. The elevenfold set: the eleven organs. The five elemental rudiments: elementary matter of five kinds, or the rudiments, sound, touch, form, flavour, and odour. What sort of creation proceeds from that which is thus defined is next explained. COMMENT. The third category is here specified, and described as the source of the senses and their respective objects.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Sankhya Karika, or Memorial Verses on the Sankhya Philosophy: Also, the Bhashya or Commentary of Gaurapada Being desirous of redeeming the pledge which they had publicly given, and of accomplishing the purpose which they had announced, the Committee thought it desirable that the Translation, in its then existing form, should be printed; and conceived that, as its extent was insufficient to constitute a separate work, it would be advisable to print it in the Transactions of the Royal Asiatic Society.
