129 See Ca.Śā.1.95–97. The term upādāna is employed at Śā.1.134–135 and Śā.4.8; the verb upa-ā-dā- is used to explain upadhā (Śā.1.96); upa-ā-dā- also occurs at Śā.1.134–135. The highest form of treatment (naiṣṭhikī cikitsā) is that which is free from upadhā (Śā.1.94cd). S. Dasgupta (1975: II, 415–416) was also of the opinion that upadhā is equivalent to upādāna as used by the Buddhists. See on upādāna: S. Dasgupta (1975): I (see index); Th. Stcherbatsky (1962): II, 270, 319–320.
