v1.c6.s50.10
He quotes (on Manu I. 19) a verse from the Sāṅkhyakārikā (‘prakṛter mahān &c). He speaks of Vindhyavāsa⁵⁷¹ as a Sāṅkhya and says that he does not admit a subtle interim body (antarābhavadeha). This is probably taken from Kumārila’s words.⁵⁷² He repeatedly refers to the *purāṇas*, tells us (on III. 232) that they were composed by Vyāsa and contained accounts of creation. He quotes (on XII. 118) a verse from the Vākyapradīpa.⁵⁷³
