Description
In the opening reverence invocation of Pramāṇasamuccaya（PS, to describe the Buddha Dignāga uses four names expressing meritorious qualities, including jagaddhitaiṣin（one who wishes for the benefit of the people of the world.
As noted by scholars, Dharmakīrti’s Pramāṇavārttika Ⅱ（PV Ⅱ） takes the form of a commentary on PS’s opening reverence invocation.[1]
Eltschinger 2011 also discusses the relationship between jagaddhitaiṣin in this invocation and bodhicittotpāda in PV Ⅱ. However, that study does not take into account how the two types of bodhicitta discussed by Kamalaśīla in First Bhāvanākrama（BhK Ⅰ) are related.
In this paper, I will examine the relationship of the PS opening reverence invocation's jagaddhitaiṣin and śāstṛ with the two types of bodhicitta discussed in BhK I.

[I]n the first Bhāvanākrama, Kamalaśīla sets forth the three forms of wisdom (prajñā): the wisdom derived from learning (śrutamayīprajñā), the wisdom derived from reflection (cintāmayīprajñā), and the wisdom derived from cultivation (bhāvanāmayīprajñā), explaining that the last of these gradually destroys the afflictive obstructions (kleśāvaraṇa) and the obstructions to omniscience (jñeyāvaraṇa).
