137 See ABI 166 and 475; Atrideva points to the words khuḍḍāka and khuḍḍaka (a variant of khuḍḍikā); he regards the caturvidhavaidyavṛtti (Ca.Sū.9.26), consisting of maitrī, kāruṇya, prīti and upekṣaṇa, as a parallel of the four brahmavihāras of the Buddhists, which consist of maitrī, kāruṇā, muditā and upekṣā (see S. Dasgupta, 1975: I, 103 and 144; the brahmavihāras are mentioned, for example, in Nāgārjuna's Suḥrllekha). The verses mentioning maitrī, etc. (Ca.Sū.8.29 and 9.26), show the influence of Yoga (cf. Yogasūtra 1.33) according to Jyotir Mitra (1982: 355).
