While there is no extant Sanskrit manuscript of The Episode of Dṛḍhādhyāśaya, the work was clearly known to Indian scholars, and indeed bears the distinction of being cited as scriptural authority in treatises both on Madhyamaka and on buddha nature. A longer portion of this text¹ is cited in the twenty-third chapter of Candrakīrti’s The Clear Words (Prasannapadā, ), of which there are multiple Sanskrit manuscripts extant. This citation is made in the commentary to verse 14² of the “Examination of Errors” chapter of Nāgārjuna’s Fundamental Treatise on the Middle Way (Mūlamadhyamakakārikā, ).³
