It may seem strange that Yasomitra only on these occasions names Vasubandhu, whom he usually calls simply "the Master". But in each of these passages, there are several alternative opinions listed, so some ambiguity might have resulted from saying simply "the Master". "Vrddha" in "Vrddhäcärya" does not necessarily mean "old"; it may simply mean "eminent" (Apte, p 1491). Similarly, much has been made of the fact that Yasomitra calls Asariga a pürväcärya, "ancient master". Since Yasomitra lived several centuries after Asanga, this should not be surprising.
22. The contradictory includes spurious replies based on nothaving-arisen, on eternality, etc. 23. A reply made on the grounds of not-having-arisen** occurs when one assumes that before its coming into existence, the justification cannot have existed, and consequently the demonstrandum also cannot exist. " To this it may be replied : Before its arising, the sound does not exist. And to maintain that it does not exist and is eternal, is a contradiction, because non-existence and eternality cannot co-exist.
72 Debate was to him mainly upäya : if it could lead to no one's interest in Mahäyäna, he would not engage in it. Thus, when Sanghabhadra, who had written his two great treatises, one of which is a furious denunciation of the Kosa Bhä$ya9 challenged Vasubandhu to defend the KoscCs statements, and was invited to come to court and debate by the jealous Vasuräta, Vasubandhu told his pupils that he could see no good reason for such a debate, but diplomatically sent the official answer that Sanghabhadra would indeed be hard to defeat.
