Article Summary

I refer to the commentary on the Dharmadhātustava by Dol po pa Shes rab rgyal mtshan (l292-1361) in the last volume of this Journal^[1] and make it clear that this text is one of important texts for him to establish the theo.y of other-emptiness (gzhan stong) or the great Madhyamaka (dbu ma chen po) in the Jo nang pa^[2] Though it is not so cited as the five Treatises of Maitreya, he seems to acknowledge the reason why he must depend on it. Though the authorship of Nāgārjuna is doubted on the ground of reference to the tathāgatagarbha idea, this is convenient for Dol po pa who wants to establish the great Madhyamaka mixed the Madhyamaka idea with the Yogācāra idea or the tathāgatagarbha idea. That is to say, he uses it in order to prove that the idea of tathāgatagarbha is also taught in the Madhyamika literature of Nāgārjuna.
Then which text does he depend on to establish his original idea? As the Ratnagotravibhāga is cited most frequently in his bDen gnyis gsat ba'i nyi ma^[3], it seems to be most important text in his great Madhyamaka. I consider his commentary on the Ratnagotravibhāga^[4] attributed to Maitreya here^[5].
