The Bhavasamkranti, another short treatise ascribed to Nagarjuna, does not actually deal with this transfer despite its title. It treats five topics: (i) the absence of birth of entities and dharmatd; (ii) vikalpa as the source of the loka and thinking (citta), which is by nature without vikalpa, and the emptiness of the five skandhas; (iii) the non-existence of the dharmas given the ultimate non-existence of citta, non-duality (advaya) and prajnd; (iv) the pdramitds as means; and (v) the twin principles of updya and prajnd, the fact that things are 'mere designation' (ndmamdtra, the division between expressions and what 62 See N.

And it would conform with the idea that only an as it were semioticized silence could adequately correspond to reality. 92 Consequently, to characterize Nagarjuna's philosophy as exclusively negativistic and his method as only apophatic on the basis of numerous statements in the MMK and other closely related treatises, to take this view as the single doctrinal standard by which the authenticity of any work ascribed to Nagarjuna has to be judged, and to conclude that a work that does not conform to this standard cannot be by (the same) Nagarjuna is a procedure that poses at least as many problems as it is supposed to solve.
