Paramārtha (499–569 ce), an Indian monk who migrated to China, declared that fifty commentaries had been written specifically on the Lotus Sūtra in India, although only one such text still exists, and that only in Chinese.⁹ It is attributed to Vasubandhu (fourth to fifth century ce), and asserts the supremacy of the Lotus Sūtra over all others.¹⁰ Some argue that the attribution is spurious, since there is no surviving Sanskrit or Tibetan manuscript.¹¹
