³ *Cf. O. Rosenberg*, Die Probleme der buddhistischen Philosophie, pp. xv, 87 ff., 41, 93. Hwui Li (The Life of Hiuen-Tsiang, transl. by *S. Beal*, p. 80) says of Vasubandhu : "His deep reasoning and ornate style were the admiration of all Western students. The very spirits and demons also studied and followed his teaching." Hwui Li (loc. cit., p. 79 f.) also reports : The Kashmiri Saṅghabhadra wrote a Kośa-Kārikā-Śāstra in 25,000 Ślokas and 80 myriads of words. He died before he could have the meeting with Vasubandhu which he had desired. However, when later on, Vasubandhu became acquainted with Saṅghabhadra's work, he praised it highly, and said it should be called the Nyāyānusāra-Śāstra, because it was in such close agreement with his own teachings.
