This is an extremely interesting passage in the Māyājāla-sūtra, which follows the similes of illusion (Group B) and contains a string of terms which has almost no parallels in the Buddhist literature and is most likely in this precise form unique to the present text. But the interpretation of the passage is not an easy task. P. Skilling, it seems, initially interpreted it according to his view that the illusory and deceitful nature of experience is a shared theme of the Śrāvakayāna and Mahāyāna literatures and that the statements about falsity and deceitfulness of experience are sometimes found in the early Buddhist texts.
