intro.32
There are several doctrinal indicators to the period in which it appeared. This being an early Mahāyāna sūtra, there is no mention in the King of Samādhis of the saṃbhogakāya or nirmāṇakāya, but only dharmakāya and rūpakāya; the doctrine of three kāyas came to prominence later. Nor is there any real mention of the tathāgatagarbha, or buddha nature, another notion developed in later works.
