Articles1882About this item
No abstract given. Here are the first relevant paragraphs:

A work of the class called Vyákarana, or narrative, in which various forms of meditations are described at length, pre-eminence being given to a meditation or Samádhi called 'the king of Samádhis'. Its object is to show the process by which a votary of Buddha may rise to the highest eminence, each chapter showing a step in the gradual progress of the human mind in its moral condition, and reciting one or more stories on moral excellence in illustration of the different stages of that progress.

The principal interlocutors are Buddha and Chandraprabha, and the scene is laid on the Gṛidhrakúṭa hill where Buddha expounded the principles of a religion which showers its blessings at all its stages, at the beginning, at the middle, and at the end. (Mitra, preliminary remarks, 207-8)
