In the thirteenth year, the Twelfth Patriarch, Kapimala, in Southern India, entrusted the treasury of the Dharma to Nāgārjuna. Nāgārjuna appeared seven hundred years after the Buddha's parinirvāṇa. In ninety days, he recited and mastered the Tripiṭaka, and composed the Great Fearlessness Treatise in one hundred thousand verses to illuminate the ultimate truth (also named the Mahāprajñāpāramitā-śāstra; Nāgārjuna's deeds appear in the record of the Fourteenth Patriarch).
