There is another text in the Kangyur titled The Sūtra of the Moon (2) (Toh 331),⁶ which was translated from Sanskrit in the time of the early diffusion (eighth–ninth centuries). This text has Sanskrit, Chinese, and Old Uyghur parallels.⁷ It shares much of the same content as the sūtra translated here, but it differs in its wording, the number of verses and passages of its prose, its setting, and the characters depicted.
