intro.7
There are several extant Sanskrit witnesses for portions of this sūtra: a lengthy citation drawn from the sūtra’s second section is preserved in the Bodhisattvaprātimokṣa Sūtra, which was studied and reproduced by Nalinaksha Dutt in 1931,⁷ and verses from Determining the Vinaya are cited by Śāntideva in his Śikṣāsamuccaya and by Candrakīrti in the Prasannapadā.⁸ The Pāli Canon contains a text called Upāliparipucchāsutta, which has been studied by Valentina Stache-Rosen in comparison to a Chinese version, but it does not appear to be the same text translated here.⁹ Chinese translations of the whole or part of the text can be found in the Chinese Buddhist Canon (Taishō 310, 325, and 326).¹⁰
