Early Monastic Buddhism v2.c36.13

v2.c36.13

Kapila and Uluka believe in the existence of a permanent soul, which according to them, is different from the constituents of a being and is not a term indicating the flux of elements¹ (*skandha-santāna*). The soul, the Buddhists assert, can neither be established by direct perception (*pratyakṣa*) nor by inference (*anumāna*).
