skill in practising the 6 Transcendental Virtues. The point<br />
meditated on is the welfare of other living beings. 1<br />
9. The A'ccumualtion of Transcendental<br />
Analysis. The latter becomes originated with<br />
him who has come to Mental Quiescence and is characterized<br />
by the cognition of the object upon which the mind is concentrated,<br />
of the agent and of the act itself, without the notion of<br />
their having a separate reality. 2 —<br />

10. The Accumulation of the Path including<br />
both (the former) combined together,<br />
(The Bodhisattva), in practising Transcendental<br />
Analysis which is directed upon the principle of Non-substantiality,<br />
can easily 'fall, into the Small Vehicle and attain only<br />
that form of Enlightenment which is peculiar to the ^ravakas etc.<br />
Therefore he must adopt the Path where both (mental Omniscience<br />
and Transcendental Analysis, are combined together and where,<br />
owing to wisdom and skill, the fall into the extremities of the<br />

II. The Accumulation of Skill. (The<br />
Bodhisattva) who is endowed with the Accumulation of<br />
(Mental Omniscience and Transcendental Analysis) combined<br />
together, manifests his skill in the means of action etc., for the<br />
sake of other living beings, his mind being directed towards<br />
the attainment of Omniscience, Accordingly, we have next the<br />
Accumulation of f Skill.<br />

1 In the Ast. the teaching about the first 7 varities of sambhara<br />
pratipatti is considered to be summarised in the passage (20. 16, 17.)<br />

are to be 'ed by me to Nirvana.—With regard to samatha-sambhara<br />

5-7,—Again, O Subhuti, the B. M. v endowed with th© Great Outfit,<br />
goes to all the latids of the eastern quarter which are innumerable<br />
like the sands of the Ganges. And, as he abides himself in the<br />
• practice of the Climax of Charity, he incites to practise it all the<br />
living beings in these lands and supports them.<br />

3 Here instead of vipasyana.<br />
1 Cf. above. The fall into Hlnayana means that th© Bodhisattva,<br />
in perceiving everything as unreal, can cease to care for the<br />
weal of other living beings,<br />
2 The 3 preceding varities of the Action of Accumulation, i.e.<br />
iamath a~sambhara, vipasyana-sambhara, and yuganaddha-margasambhara<br />
relate to the state of intense concentration (samahitajnana<br />
— mnam-bzag-ye-ses), whereas the Accumulation of skill refers<br />
to the Wisdom of the Bodhisattva which is acquired after the termination<br />
of the trance (prstha-labdha-jnana — rjes-thob-ye'Ses),<br />
