Summary/Abstract: The "Digambara-parikalpitâtma-parīkṣā" is a relatively brief section of the voluminous "Tattva-saṅgraha" of Śāntarakṣita. It presents a fictitious, idealised Mahāyānist-Jaina debate, its subject being the Jaina doctrine of the soul. The Sanskrit original of both Śāntarakṣita’s verses and Kamalaśīla’s prose commentary thereon, the "Pañjikā", has been edited twice thus far: in the complete editions of the two texts by E. Krishnamacharya (1926), and D. Shastri (1968). Both works are of limited reliability, and neither consults the Tibetan versions of these texts. The present article offers a new critical edition of said section of the "Tattva-saṅgraha(-pañjikā)", together with an annotated English translation.
