The translator’s English as printed (K. T. Telang). The original-language text is not held; names are romanised as the translator printed them.

* Cf. Weber’s History of Indian Literature, p. 285. In Mr. Davids’ Buddhism, P- 94, we have a noteworthy extract from a standard Buddhistic work, touching the existence of the soul. Compare that with the corresponding doctrine in the Gita. It will be found that the two are at one in rejecting the identity of the soul with the senses &c. The Gita then goes on to admit a soul separate from these. Buddhism rejects that also, and sees nothing but the senses.

Compare it with the corresponding doctrine in the Gita. The two agree in rejecting the identity of the soul with the senses and so forth. The Gita then goes on to affirm a soul separate from these. Buddhism rejects that as well, and finds nothing beyond the senses.
