h, _The Sankhya System_, 1919, which however reached me too
late for me to make any use of it.]
[Footnote 741: _E.g._ in the Bhagavad-gita and Svetasvatara Upanishads.
According to tradition Kapila taught Asuri and he, Pancasikha, who
made the system celebrated. Garbe thinks Pancasikha may be assigned to
the first century A.D.]

and translated by Ballantyne as "The Sankhya Aphorisms of Kapila."]
[Footnote 743: Or topics. It is difficult to find any one English word
which covers the twenty-five tattvas, for they include both general
and special ideas, mind and matter on the one hand; special organs on
the other.]
[Footnote 744: Sankh. Pravac. I. 96.]
[Footnote 745: Garbe, _Die Sankhya Philosophie_, p. 222. He considers
that it spread thence to other schools. This involves the assumption
that the Sankhya is prior to Buddhism and Jainism.]
[Footnote 746: Ears, skin, eyes, tongue and nose.]
[Footnote 747: Voice, hands, feet, organs of excretion and
generation.]
[Footnote 748: Verse 40.]
[Footnote 749: Cf. the Buddhist Sankharas.]
[Footnote 750: Sankh. Kar. 62.]
[Footnote 751: Sankh. Kar. 59-61.]
[Footnote 752: Sankh. Pravac. I. 92-95.]
[Footnote 753: Sankh. Pravac. V. 2-12.]
[Footnote 754: Thus Sankh. Pravac. V. 46, says Tatkartuh
purushasyabhavat and the commentary explains Isvara-pratishedhad iti
seshah "supply the words, because we deny that there is a supreme
God."]
[Footnote 755: Nevertheless the commentator Vijnana-Bhikshu
(c. 1500) tries to explain away this atheism and to reconcile
the Sankhya with the Vedanta. See Garbe's preface to his edition
of the Sankhya-pravacana-bhashya.]

[Footnote 758: Isvara is apparently a purusha like others but greater
in glory and untouched by human infirmities. Yoga sutras, I. 24-26.]
[Footnote 759: It is a singular fact that both the
Sankhya-karika-bhashya and a treatise on the Vaiseshika philosophy
are included in the Chinese Tripitaka (Nanjio, Cat. Nos. 1300 and
1295). A warning is however added that they are not "the law of the
Buddha."]
[Footnote 760: See Jacobi, _J.A.O.S._ Dec. 1910, p. 24. But if
Vasubandhu lived about 280-360, as is now generally believed,
allusions to the Yogacara school in the Yoga sutras do not oblige us
to place the sutras much later than 300 A.D. since the Yogacara was
founded by Asanga, the br
