The sūtra was first studied by Tsurumatsu Tokiwai in a dissertation at the University of Strasburg published in 1918.⁵ This was followed in 1968 by Yukata Iwamoto’s edition of several Sanskrit manuscripts from Nepal dated to the seventeenth century, which he compared with a thirteenth-century “Calcutta” manuscript.⁶ This publication also included English translations of four Chinese versions. In 1993, Markus Görtz completed an (unpublished) MA thesis containing a new edition of the Sanskrit,⁷ which was not accessible to us.
