¹ Cf. Obermiller’s *Analysis of the Abhisamayālaṃkāra*, III, p. 380, referring to *Tarkajvāla* and Schayer, *Kamalaśīla’s Kritik des Pudgalavāda*. Obermiller writes ‘the Vātsīputrīyas, Bhadrayānikas, Sāmmitiyas, Dharmaguptas and Samkrāntivādins are those that admit the reality of the ‘individual.’ They say that the ‘individual’ is something inexpressible, being neither identical with the five groups of elements nor differing from them. It is to be cognised by the six forms of *vijñānas* and is subject to *saṃsāra* (phenomenal existence).
