GA (510) The name of the native home of this important philosopher, the original “Buddhist Logician,” is given to us as Simhavaktra near K
ā
ñc
 ī 
 (modern Conjeveram). According to Tibetan tradition he lived in a cave on Bhora
ś
aila in Orissa and sojourned in Nalanda, but Hsüan-tsang is reported to have found a hill in Andhra near Vangi in the West Godavari district, and that Dign
ā
ga was born in Simhapura or Nellore. K.S. Murty (

: Aspects of Buddhist Studies.
 
Professor P.V. Bapat Felicitation Volume
 (Delhi 1989, p. 356) says that Dign
ā
ga founded sixteen Mah
ā
vih
ā
ras, and gives more historical information. He summarily states that Dign
ā
ga was born in “a suburb of Kañcipura, resided for some time in Orissa ... mostly lived in Andhra ... died in a forest in Orissa.” There is an extensive critical literature dealing with Dign
ā
ga’s logic, epistemology and philosophy of language. [313] 107. DIGN

Summary by Mark Tatz Dign

ga’s commentary (

) on the
 Abhidharmako
ś 
a
 of Vasubandhu is entitled
 Marmad 
ī 
 pa
 (var.
 Marmaprad 
ī 
 pa
)—that is to say, a presentation of crucial points. This commentary is known only from Tibetan sources, and survives in the Tibetan Sacred Canon (
 Bstan-‘gyur 
). Toh. no. 4095, Derge Nyu 95b.l-214a.7 in a translation by the Indian pandit *Yogacandra (Rnal-‘byor-zla-ba) in collaboration with the Tibetan translator ’Jam-dpal-gzhon-nu, entitled
Gnad-kyi-sgron-ma
. This data is borne out by the Zhwa-lu catalogue of Bu-ston (
Collected Works
, ed. L. Chandra, 26, 608.7). Dign
ā
ga is a direct disciple of Vasubandhu, according to the Tibetan historians. This view is probably a deduction, at least in part, from the nature of the
 Marmad 
ī 
 pa
, which is nothing but derivative of Vasubandhu’s source work. (But the Jain scholar Si
has
ū
ri also recognizes their guru-disciple relationship.) Dign
ā
ga has reduced the
 Abhidharmako
ś 
a
 to a handbook, reproducing word-for-word the main comments of Vasubandhu’s
 Bh
āṣ
 ya
 upon the

rik

. (The Tibetan translations of the two works also correspond.) In effect, Dign
ā
ga presents the first sentences of each topic, deleting the derivative discussions and the accounts of how the various Abhidharmists and their followers differ on
