15. Bagchi (1927, p. 262) mentions that according to several Chinese scriptural catalogs, this Chinese translation of the Kanakavarṇapūrvayoga was the second to be made, after a first translation by Dharmaruci, a monk from southern India who resided at Luoyang at the beginning of the sixth century. This first translation is said to have been made in 507 ce and later corrected by Bodhiruci. However, at some point it was lost. On Dharmaruci, see Bagchi 1927: 246–47.
