Re: [INDOLOGY] asatkhyātivāda

[Walter Slaje]

Maṇḍanamiśra treats the Buddhist Asatkhyāti among four theories of error in
his Vibhramaviveka (5-27). Although he may not be seen as a "later
Brahmanical thinker", it is certainly worthwhile to consult Lambert
Schmithausen's edition, which is accompanied by a translation, a running
commentary, and a thorough survey on the subject. See there on pp. 93ff and
234ff.
