Serie orientale: The Epistemological Model of Vedantic Doxography According to the SarvadarśanasaṃgrahaNakulīśapāśupatadarśana (नकुलीशपाशुपतदर्शन) refers to the sixth chapter of the Sarvadarśanasaṃgraha (lit., “ompendium of all the darśanas”) by Mādhavācārya (fourteenth century CE) refers to the most famous text of the Saṃgraha literary genre dealing in 16 chapters with different darśanas or schools of Indian philosophy.—The sixth darśana is named nakulīśapāśupatadarśana, and it treats of a Śaiva school foreign to the tradition of the āgamas, inspired by the master Nakulīśa (alias Lakulīśa). The form of Śiva being object of veneration is Paśupati, the Lord (pati) of tied cattle (paśu). The main works of this tradition are the Pāśupatasūtra, 168 aphorisms commented by Kauṇḍinya (Pañcārthabhāṣya) and the Gaṇakārikā by Bhāsarvajña (tenth century CE, with comment Ratnaṭīkā). The doctrine is very systematic, comprehending inter alia a correlate structure of eight pentads (acquisition, impurity, expedient, locality, perseverance, purification, initiations, powers). The ritual antinomistic behaviour of the devotee in a certain grade of his spiritual career is examined in detail, with accurate references to the primary sources of the school.
