AB Abstract The Buddhist author Ravigupta compares the destruction of afflictions, thought to come about through jñāna and samādhi , to a “ sudhopala ”, a limestone thrown into water for the production of quicklime. The article explores the realia and Sanskrit terminology behind the image and its intertextual ramifications.
