These works have been thoroughly studied and translated by Jeffrey D. Schoening (1995). He also gives a chronological account of both partial and complete Western language translations of The Rice Seedling, the first being a translation from the Chinese into Italian in 1908; and he mentions a Japanese translation from the Chinese of Taishō 709. - [Previous: intro.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.salistamba*bo~en-84000.intro.3) - [Next: intro.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.salistamba*bo~en-84000.intro.5) - [Up: intro](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.salistamba*bo~en-84000.intro) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.salistamba*bo~en-84000.intro.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.salistamba*bo~en-84000.intro.4) · Pramāṇa
