+> The origin story of the Licchavis, retold in two commentaries on Nikāya texts, has received some scant attention in the modern scholastic record, yet has usually been either cast aside as so much myth or has been recast in thematic or structural studies that align it with other tales of incest, foundling narratives, or origin stories of gaṇa-saṅghas.
+> This article argues against those interpretations and offers a thorough rereading of the story as not only encoding a class hierarchy but also, in so doing, critiquing the Brahmanical class structure and the concept of svabhāva by birth.

+> Contemporary Buddhist studies has been strongly affected by its origins in the Victorian era, when Western religious scholars sought to rationalize and historicize the study of religion.
+> Modern Asian scholars, trained within the Western scholarly paradigm, share this prejudice.
+> The result is a skewed understanding of Buddhism, emphasizing its philosophical and theoretical aspects at the expense of seemingly 'irrational' religious elements based on the direct experience of meditation practice.

+Worth keeping in mind that the suttas (like Iti 61) enumerate three kinds of eye: "The flesh eye, the divine eye, and the eye of wisdom."
+The Buddha here says that not even the heavenly eye or the dhamma eye can describe the past Buddhas.
