T04n0201_p0258c17║世師論、若提碎摩論,如是等論解了分別。
Translating a text by Kumarajiva, I've run into a transliteration of what I would assume is a school of ancient Indian philosophy, but none that I can match up with the Chinese pronunciations. I was wondering if anyone has a better reference or knowledge than mine who could resolve the mystery. The passage above mentions a brahmana learned in the Samkyha, Vaisesika, and [mystery school]. Chinese = 若提碎摩. 若提 often equals Jnati, but otherwise I'm stumped.
