Dear List members,

I hope someone can help me out with a pdf of Gonda's article on āyatana in Adyar Libr. Bull. 33 (1969).

I am particular interested to know if the use of the word āyatana all by itself meaning "the senses" is a peculiar development within Buddhism or is already present in the brahmaṇic tradition, or is merely foreshadowed in the latter.

With kind regards, Herman
