The first complete modern, Western translation of The Sūtra of Nandika was published by Léon Feer, in French, in his Extraits du Kandjour,²¹ together with a short introduction on the five basic precepts.²² A more recent English translation was published by Bhikṣuṇī Vinītā in 2010, based on the Sanskrit manuscripts from the Potala.²³ This translation has proved very useful in preparing our own translation.²⁴
