The Vibhashas are reputed to have been compiled by Katyayaniputra and cast into a literary mould by Ashva- ghosha. Despite the fact that theKoshaisa work of the vSarvastivada School, which appertains to the Hinayana, it is considered as an authority by other sects. The treatise has been used by the Chinese and Japanese Mahayanists as a text book and it has given rise to a voluminous commentary literature, 98 For other authorities, consult Bag. Mitra, Nep. Buddh Lit. , p. 3 ff. ; Bendall Catalog...ue, p. 25 ff. ; Burnouf. Introduction, p 502 ff. ; Sylvain Levi ERE. 1, p. 20 and La Vallee Poussion in ERE IV, p. 129 ff. Standing entirely on the soil of the Hinayana is the Gathusamgrapha of Vasubandhu with which we are acquainted in its Tibetan version. It is a collection of maxims with an intelligent commentary, excerpts from which have been cited by A. Schiefner. These 24 Gathas are apophthegms conceived wholly in the spirit of the Lhani- mapada. The commentary shows us the philosopher Vasu- bandhu also as a humorous evangelist and the book is other- wise justly attributed to him.
