Sixty Verses on Reasoning
युक्तिषष्टिका (Yuktiṣaṣṭikā); tib. Rigs pa drug cu pa; chin. 六十頌如理論
Sixty verses, preserved complete in Tibetan and in Dānapāla's Chinese translation (Sanskrit fragments in quotations), on attachment to views. It holds that those who cling to the existence or non-existence of things remain caught in the afflictions, and that understanding dependent origination frees one from both positions. Candrakīrti commented on it.
