AbstractIn his Prajñāpāramitopadeśa (PPU) Ratnākaraśānti claims that all dharmas are mere cognition in nature (vijñānamātrasvabhāvāḥ). This view is based on his theory of illumination (prakāśa, shining forth). He regards the illumination/appearance of all dharmas as possible only when illumination is accepted as their nature(prakāśamānānāṃ dharmāṇām ... ātmabhūtaḥ prakāśaḥ ). Only something luminous in nature can shine forth. An object, if it did not have the nature of being luminous, could not shine forth (sa ced atadrūpo na tarhi prakāśate). Thus, for him, luminous dharmas, which have the very nature of cognition, are precisely cognition in nature. Whereas Ratnākaraśānti regards illumination as cognition in nature, Bhāṭṭa Mīmāṃsakas regard it as an additional property produced in a cognized object (viṣayasya grāhyasya dharmaḥ) as a result of a cognizing action (jñānakārya). Naiy ̄ayikas, etc., regard it as nothing more than the occurrence of cognition (jñānasyotpattiḥ ). They need no separate category called illumination. When a cognition of blue arises, blue appears to the mind. Another theorist, whom Ratnākaraśānti designates merely as aparaḥ (another), claims that a non-luminous object is illuminated by a luminous cognition (arthaḥ punar atadrūpo jñānavaśāt prakāśate). In other words, the illumination of objects is possible not because illumination is the nature of objects but because they are connected with the illumination of cognition, just as a pot is illuminated by the light of a lamp. Ratnākaraśānti refutes these three heretic views one by one. The present paper aims at clarifying Ratnākaraśānti’s arguments against these views.
