Two kinds of Requisites:—A technical term in Buddhism corresponding to the Sanskrit sambhāra defined in the Dharma-saṃgraha (section 117):

  1. The requisite of merit (puṇya-sambhāra),
  2. The requisite of knowledge (jñāna-sambhāra).

The Dharma-samgraha (Dharmasangraha) is an extensive glossary of Buddhist technical terms in Sanskrit (e.g., ‘two kinds of requisites’). The work is attributed to Nagarguna who lived around the 2nd century A.D.
