AB - This paper discusses the possibility that the Buddhists formed an alliance with the Sāṃkhyas when they criticized the practice of Vedic sacrifice. Inspired by the article on Bhāviveka in Xuanzang’s travelogue which reports that Bhāviveka wore the Sāṃkhya garment in the presence of non-Buddhist outsiders, the first part of the paper analyzes Bhāviveka’s critique of the Veda, particularly the contents of the Madhyamakahṛdayakārikā 9.31, as well as the Tarkajvālā commentary on that verse. In his critique, Bhāviveka lists quotations from the Veda in order to prove its evil authorship. It is evident that many of his quotations correspond with quotations that the Sāṃkhya commentators provided in the second verse of the Sāṃkhyakārikā, which makes an argument for the impurity of Vedic sacrifice. To support the possibility that Bhāviveka made an alliance with the Sāṃkhyas, the second part examines the similar precedent case, in which Āryadeva and Vasu ally with the Sāṃkhyas in their critique of Aśvamedha. In addition, Kumārila’s equation of the Sāṃkhyas and Buddhists with each other for rejecting the sacrificial orthopraxy is noted to show that this alliance made across the āstika-nāstika divide had also been observed by their opponents, Vedic Brahmins.
