(174) Barua compares the school of Pyrrho with that of Sañjaya (*op. cit.*, p. 32) but as indicated below (*v. infra*, 180) it is not said of the school of Sañjaya, unlike in the case of the previous three schools, that it held non-scepticism to be a source of vexation or a hindrance We therefore have no evidence that the school of Sañjaya valued mental equanimity. In the circumstances we would have to hold that Pyrrhonean scepticism would be nearer the three schools mentioned above than the school of Sañjaya, which in our opinion does not seem to have valued mental quietude at all.
