35.12

The commentary states: Hong Xingzu remarked: "When Liang Xiaobiao annotated the Shishuo xinyu, he quoted the preface to the Liexian zhuan as saying, 'Seventy-four of them are already found in Buddhist sūtras.' What is printed by contemporary booksellers now reads, 'Seventy-four of them are already in the Immortals' scriptures.' This must be an unauthorised alteration made by the Daoists. Thus, the statement that there were Buddhist sūtras in the Tianlu Pavilion is verified by this."
