Their translation was subsequently revised and finalized by the Indian preceptor Vidyākarasiṃha and the chief editor-translator, Bandé Paltsek. All these contributors flourished during the late eighth and early ninth centuries, and so the Tibetan translation, which we have rendered into English here, would have been completed during the early translation period, a dating also attested by the text’s inclusion in the early-ninth-century Denkarma (ldan dkar ma) inventory of translations into Tibetan.²⁰ We are aware of only one Tibetan commentary on The Sūtra on the Limits of Life, a rather late Tibetan commentary by Choné Lama Drakpa Shedrup (co ne bla ma grags pa bshad sgrub, 1675–1748).²¹ - [Previous: intro.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.ayuhparyantasutra*bo~en-84000.intro.13) - [Next: intro.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.ayuhparyantasutra*bo~en-84000.intro.15) - [Up: intro](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.ayuhparyantasutra*bo~en-84000.intro) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.ayuhparyantasutra*bo~en-84000.intro.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.ayuhparyantasutra*bo~en-84000.intro.14) · Pramāṇa
