The Religion and Philosophy of the Veda and Upanishads v1.c9.29

v1.c9.29

² See Keith, *Buddhist Philosophy*, chap. i. Cf. Oltramare, *La théosophie bouddhique* (1923), pp. 56, 64 ff., who recognizes that Açoka knew no canon. Max Walleser (*Sprache und Heimat des Pali-Kanons*, pp. 23 f.) still clings to the alleged Açokan date of the Kathāvatthu, a view as improbable as the theory of Pali as the language of the Sthaviras of Pāṭaliputra.
