50. The Nidāna of the Ug gives an account related to this rule in the Bhv, and its Ch. version preserves the Hemorrhoids Sūtra, which includes mantras, whereas the Tib. version does not mention such a sūtra. The sūtra has also been translated independently both in Ch. (Taishō no. 1325) and Tib. (Arśapraśamanasūtra, Toh 621). For details of the passage in the Nidāna, see Kishino 2013, 146–47, 347–48. For editions and studies of both independent sūtras, see Yamanaka et al. 2011. For comparisons between Buddhist and non-Buddhist literature on hemorrhoids, see Yamanaka et al. 2012.
