Extract

In a paper contributed to the Bhandarkar Commemoration Volume in 1917, Professor S. K. Belvalkar announced the discovery of a new commentary on the Sāṃkhyakārikā by Māṭhara, and identified it with the lost Sanskrit original of the commentary on that work preserved in the Chinese translation of Paramārtha (c. a.d. 550). Commenting on this suggestion in 1918, I observed that derivation of the newly discovered commentary and of Paramārtha from the same source was an alternative possibility. Professor Belvalkar has now, in a paper which was written to form part of the collection presented to Professor Hillebrandt on his 70th birthday, and is pxiblished in the Annals of the Bhandarkar Institue, adduced reasons in support of his original suggestion.

5 But he also cites the Kārikā without naming Īçvarakṛṣṇa (pp. 98, 102, 103, 109), and as at p. 103 he says Sāṃkhyair ittham ūce, it looks as if he were citing at second hand again. This is confirmed by his citation, slightly incorrectly, of Kārikā 62 (p. 107), as Kāpilāḥ, while just above an incorrect version of Muṇḍaka Upaniṣad, i, 2, 10, occurs. The citation from Patañjali (p. 105) is not in the Yoga Sūtra.
