C. was in the main Buddhist, but it should not for a moment be supposed that the old faith was extinct. The triumph and ascendancy of the teachings of Sákyamuni and his followers were due in a large measure to the fact that they drew upon, and incorporated into, their creed much that was essentially of Hindu origin.\[\*\] As Dr. Bhándárkar observes :— - [Previous: v2.c32.75](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.ray-1902.v2.c32.75) - [Next: v2.c32.77](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.ray-1902.v2.c32.77) - [Up: v2.c32](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.ray-1902.v2.c32) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.ray-1902.v2.c32.76](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.ray-1902.v2.c32.76) · Pramāṇa
