The Yamaka, Vol. II

The volume opens with an Introductory Note, which explains the preparation of this second and concluding installment of the Yamaka and comments on the editorial and scholastic challenges of presenting such a technical Abhidhamma text. The main contents begin with VIII. Citta-Yamaka, which analyzes consciousness through the paired-question method, especially under headings such as Uddesavāro and Niddesavāro. The next section, IX. Dhamma-Yamaka, examines dhammas through Paññattivāro, Uddesavāro, and Niddesavāro, focusing on how doctrinal categories are stated, defined, and logically tested. The final major division, X. Indriya-Yamaka, treats the faculties through Paññattivāro, Uddesavāro, Niddesavāro, and Pavattivāro, extending the analytical method to questions of occurrence and doctrinal application. The volume concludes with an Index and an Appendix: Dissertation by Ledi Sadaw, providing additional scholastic support for the study of the text.
