[INDOLOGY] Haribhadra about vikalpa

[Elliot Stern]

Dear Pierre-Julien,

It is a quotation from Pramāṇaviniścaya 1.33ab in Ernst Steinkellner’s edition (Dharmakīrti’s Pramāṇaviniścaya Chapters 1 and 2, Beijing-Vienna, 2007). The rest of the verse: pratyakṣābho’kṣajatve’pi tadanyebhyo'viśeṣataḥi

Sparham, in his English translation, does not either. I haven’t been able to track this definition back to any text. Dharmakīrti, who would be my prime suspect, does not seem to have authored it.
