v1.c5.s7.5

⁴ *Majjhima*, p. 259: aññatra paccayā natthi viññāṇasa sambhavo ti. Buddhaghosa in commenting upon the view of Sāti says that Sāti was merely a *Jātakabhāṇaka* (reciter of the Jātakas), he was misled by the concluding words in a Jātaka, in which Buddha identified himself with the Bodhisatta. A similar reason is assigned by Buddhaghosa in his comments on the view held by the Pudgalavādins. See Dutt, *Doctrines of the Three Principal Schools of Buddhism* 1939.
