Abstract
As we have seen (above, p. 5) the amount of explicit information Nāgeśa gives us regarding the meaning of anṅga (“cause”) leaves much to be desired. If we had to depend exclusively on his explicit statements, there would be no way of getting away from this unsatisfactory state of affairs. Fortunately, another way is open to us. We can study exactly how Nāgeśa puts the BP to use in specific cases. This, we may hope, will yield the information which was withheld from us in a more straightforward manner. The passage to be studied for this purpose will be largely drawn from elsewhere in the PŚ (that is to say, not from Nāgeśa’s discussion of the BP) and from the LŚŚ. The first one is on Par. XCV.
