Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English(pratyātmika, f. °kī, adj., found in Skt., peculiar, pertaining to the individual
private, personal, contrasting with general, universal: °kaṃ jñānabalaṃ mamaitat SP 〔54.6〕 (vs), this is my (Buddhaʼs) peculiar power of knowledge
Buddha saves all men by the Buddha-(= mahā-)yāna alone, and does not preach individual (personal, private) release for any creature, i.e. by the śrāvaka or pratyekabuddha ways, na ca kasyacit sattvasya °mikaṃ parinirvāṇaṃ vadati SP 〔81.14〕 (prose)
similarly, °mikīṃ nirvṛti kalpayāma … na bhūyaḥ SP 〔117.1〕 (vs)
in this light interpret SP 〔93.10〕 (vs) ete 'pi śraddhāya mamaiva yānti, °mikaṃ jñānu na caiva vidyate, they too walk in (by?) faith in me alone, and there is no individual (private) knowledge at all found in them, which would lead to their seeking selfish, individual nirvāṇa
Burnouf and Kern see a contrast between the two halves of the line, which seems unjustified.)
