Similarly _Ib._ 84, and elsewhere, we have descriptions of persons

[Footnote 9: The Bodhicaryavatara was edited by Minayeff, 1889 and
also in the _Journal of the Buddhist Text Society_ and the
_Bibliotheca Indica_. De la Vallee Poussin published parts of the text
and commentary in his _Bouddhisme_ and also a translation in 1907.]

[Footnote 10: The career of the Bodhisattva is also discussed in
detail in the Avatamsaka sutra and in works attributed to Nagarjuna
and Sthiramati, the Lakshana-vimukta-hridaya-sastra and the
Mahayana-dharma-dhatvaviseshata-sastra. I only know of these works as
quoted by Teitaro Suzuki.]

[Footnote 14: Eminent doctors such as Nagarjuna and Asanga are often
described as Bodhisattvas just as eminent Hindu teachers, _e.g._
Caitanya, are described as Avataras.]

[Footnote 15: The idea that Arhats may postpone their entry into
Nirvana for the good of the world is not unknown to the Pali Canon.
According to the Maha Parin-Sutta the Buddha himself might have done
so. Legends which cannot be called definitely Mahayanist relate how
Pindola and others are to tarry until Maitreya come and how Kasyapa
in a less active role awaits him in a cave or tomb, ready to revive at
his advent. See _J.A._ 1916, II. pp. 196, 270.]
