AbstractAccording to the Chinese pilgrims Xuanzang and Yijing, the Saṃmitīya sect of Buddhism, an offshoot of the Vātsiputriya sect, had become by far the most important among the non-Mahāyānist denominations of the northern half of India by the turn of the 7th century CE. Now, the Saṃmitīya were famous for professing a personalist doctrine pudgalavāda) that singled them out as “heretics” and triggered off vehement criticism on the part of their “coreligionists.” Whereas only a few Saṃmitīya works have survived down to us in Chinese translation, most of their opponents’ tracts have been preserved either in Sanskrit or in Tibetan translation, the most celebrated ones being those of Vasubandhu, Candrak rti and Kamala la. However, one of the earliest extant Yogācāra sources, the Mahāyānasūtrālankāra (bhāsya), dedicates a section of respectable length to the critique of Buddhist personalism. The present essay provides this neglected early testimony with an introduction, an annotated translation, and text-critical notes.
