  Vasubandhu offers what is perhaps the most detailed account of the  personalist theory in his Treasury of Higher Knowledge,  along with a refutation of the Brahmanical view of persons advocated  by the Nyāya-Vaiśeṣika philosophers. The relevant  section of the text, the Treatise on the Negation of the  Person (AKBh IX), begins with the standard warning that clinging to any substantive view of the self is detrimental to one's progress  toward liberation. Insofar as the notion of “self” or  “person” is retained this should not be taken to  designate anything other than the aggregates.
