 In addition to presenting the two truths as described above, a presentation that is not particularly out of the ordinary for a Madhyamaka thinker, Śāntarakṣita elaborates further, in ways that must have made his presentation seem unorthodox to mainline Mādhyamikas in eighth century India. Although there were other Indian Mādhyamikas who attempted to incorporate dimensions of Yogācāra/Cittamātra (Mind-Only) thought into their Madhyamaka perspective (including Śāntarakṣita’s own disciples Kamalaśīla and Haribhadra, as well as predecessors like Ārya Vimuktisena, Śrigupta, Jñānagarbha), Śāntarakṣita is undoubtedly the most noteworthy and most famous Yogācāra-Madhyamaka  synthesizer.[10]  There are two primary areas where we find Yogācāra ideas incorporated into Śāntarakṣita’s thought: his presentation of conventional truths where he describes them as being of the nature of consciousness, and his conventional acceptance of self-cognizing consciousness or reflexive awareness (svasaṃvedana).
