23. To quote Hakamaya, “The most part of the BhSS is quoted in the Madhyamakāvatara­bhāṣya […] of Candrakīrti in order to refuse the ālayavijñāna of Yogācāra. Though it is difficult to explain the reason why Candrakīrti would be better pleased to take the BhSS than the PPSS, he would perhaps expected [sic] the more efficacious refutation by means of employing the BhSS as the scriptural authority, which belonged to the just opposite of him, i.e. the Yogācāra. It was also to the Yogācāra tradition that the Chinese translators of the BhSS had belonged.” Hakamaya (1977), p. 480.
