Re: [Buddha-l] Re: PudgalavadaLance/Stephen,


  Vasubandhu (digital version) has e.g.:
  yathendhanam upaadaayaagni™ prajñapyate eva.m skandhaan upaadaaya pudgala.h iti /


  So we should also consider that the Chinese may sometimes render the verb prajñapyate rather than the noun prajñapti ?



Yes, good point. And there are also plenty of instances of the nominal form:

Pradhan, pp. 461.20-462.2
ādhyātmikānupāttānvarttamānān skandhānupādāya pudgalaḥ prajñapyate /
[...]
yadyayamarhtaḥ skandhānāṃ lakṣyate teṣveva pudgalaprajñaptiḥ prāpnoti /
[...]
yathā rūpādīnālamvya teṣveva kṣīraprajñaptiḥ /
[...]
athāyamarthaḥ skandhān pratīyeti /
[...]
skandhānāṃ pudgalaprajñaptikāraṇatvāt / sa eva doṣaḥ / na sa evaṃ prajñapyate / kathaṃ tarhi yathendhanamupādāyāgniḥ / kathaṃ cendhanamupādāyāgniḥ prajñapyate / na hi vinendhanenāgniḥ prajñapyate na cānya indhanādagniḥ śakyate prajñapayituṃ nāpyananyaḥ /
