intro.9
In the Pali Saṃyutta Nikāya we find the Candimasutta (SN 2.9), which is the probably close to the source text for The Sūtra of the Moon (1), but differs slightly from The Sūtra of the Moon (2).¹⁰ Some passages from the Chinese Āgamas were translated into Old Uyghur, and there are two different Old Uyghur renditions of the verses of The Sūtra of the Moon (2) from Taishō 99, both edited by Zieme. Feer presents the legend of Rāhu according to Hindu and Buddhist texts, and his translations of both versions of The Sūtra of the Moon include extensive notes.
