Harivarman
.

Buddhist scholar of the 3rd cent. CE, originally a member of one of the subschools of the
Great Assembly
(Mah
sa
ghikas)
and perhaps also the founder of the Nominalist school (
Prajñaptiv
da
). He composed a great
Abhidharma
(scholastic) treatise entitled ‘The Establishment of Truth’ (
Satya-siddhi-
stra
), which now survives in Chinese alone.
In this work, which is divided in accordance with the
Four Noble Truths
, the author discusses a multitude of technical problems in Buddhist doctrine and rejects those opinions which are not sanctioned by scripture.
