6. Our research included a thorough survey of Sanskrit, Pali, and Tibetan resources for any mention of Siṃha. There is a Licchavi general named Sīha (the Pali equivalent of Siṃha), who questions the Buddha about generosity, found in the Anguttara Nikāya of the Pali canon (A.iii.38f; iv.79f), but he is unrelated to the Prince Siṃha of this sūtra. Further research on Siṃha’s identity might consider untranslated Chinese sources, which falls outside the scope of this project.
