Pramāṇa (ཚད་མ་)

Pramāṇayuktanidhi, Part One: Establishing the Knowable

Pramāṇayuktanidhi (Tshad-ma rigs-paʼi gter)

The first part of Sakya Paṇḍita's root verses on the epistemology of Dignāga and Dharmakīrti, which establishes the knowable from its general aspects: what an object is, what mind is and how it divides, and why universals are exclusions and not entities.

All compounded things are subject to falling apart, apparently.
