General definition (in Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: BuddhismOne of the surving works from the Vātsīputrīya and Sāṃmitiya traditions.
Source: Scribd: The Literature of the PudgalavadinsThe 'San-mi-ti pou louen' (Sāṃmitīyanikāyaśāstra) is the title found in the Chinese translation (T. XXXII, no. 1649, pp. 462a-473a), though the treatise has another title: 'Yi-chouo louen' (Āśrayaprajñaptiśāstra). This title probably reflects the contents of the work, most of which is an attempt to explain the theory of the pudgala. The name of the author, the translator and the date of composition are not mentioned. The translation is supposed to be from the Chin dynasty (385-431 A.D.).
It is impossible to attribute this text to the Sāṃmitīyas, becauyse of
- the alternate title of the treatise,
- the concept of an indestructible entity (avipraṇāśa), and
- the list of the fruits of a śrāvaka, all of which indicate the presence of notions not associated with the four sub-sects.
