This text was also translated into Chinese by Dānapāla in 983, during the Northern Song Dynasty.¹¹ However, the text of the Chinese translation does not closely match the Tibetan version of the text, and only begins partway through the narrative. It therefore seems likely that the Chinese and Tibetan translations were based on different versions of the text (or perhaps the Chinese translation was based on an incomplete source text).¹² We have not consulted the Chinese translation in preparing this English translation of The Exemplary Tale of Puṇyabala.
