7. The deliberate transformation of sex, as described in this and a number of other sūtras, has been the subject of several scholarly studies. Two early studies are Paul 1979 (especially chapter 5), and Schuster 1981. Other discussions include those found in Peach 2002 and Young 2007. On Buddhist attitudes toward women and sexuality, more generally and in classical South Asia, one may also consult the collection edited by Cabezón 1992 and Cabezón’s monograph (2017).
