　　   (41) I have not mentioned  the other attaa  heresies

　　　　   described  in the Brahmajaalasutta, as they are

　　　　   not  radically  different  from  what  we  have

　　　　   discussed  in the present  article.  All  these

　　　　   heresies are also based on the Satkaayad.r.s.ti

　　　　   and  so  share   the  characteristics   of  the

　　　　   Satkaayad.r.s.ti. These  heresies  must also be

　　　　   partially  similar to  the 'Saa'svatavaadins or

　　　　   the Ekaccasassatavaadins. I could not trace any

　　　　   other  sutta  devoted  to the rejection  of any

　　　　   of these heresies. The Buddhists themselves, it

　　　　   seems, did  not think  it necessary  to discuss

　　　　   these false views separately and elaborately.

　　   soul  of Mahaabrahmaa, who is uncreated, is eternal.

　　   But  the  'Saa'svatavaada  and the other  groups  of

　　   Ekaccasassatavaada   recognise   numerous,  eternal,

　　   individual  souls who are either identical  with the

　　   skandhas  or so  closely  related  to them  as to be

　　   dependent  on them  for their  very  existence.  The

　　   second and third groups of the Ekaccasassatavaadins,

　　   however, are of the opinion that the eternity is not

　　   absolute, for  the  beings  die if they  indulge  in

　　   sensual  pleasures  or are afflicted  with jealousy.

　　   The   first  type  of Ekaccasassatavaada  explicitly

　　   states  that  the  souls,  including   that  of  the

　　   Mahaabrahmaa, are made of mind.  This view seems  to

　　   have been accepted by the second and third groups of

　　   the Ekaccasassatavaadins  who made  the eternity  of

　　   the  individual  souls  dependent  on the purity  of

　　   mind.   According   to  the  fourth   group  of  the

　　   Ekaccasassatavaadins which consists of the logicians

　　   and the thinkers, the individual  soul  is identical

　　   with citta or manas or vij~naana.  Thus we find that

　　   the Ekaccasassatavaada  concept of soul belonged  to

　　   the sphere  of mind and at least in most cases could

　　   not rise beyond the Ruupaloka.  Moreover the eternal

　　   souls  are confined  within  space  and time and are

　　   characterised by the subject-object split.
