佛祖歷代通載 3.61

3.61

（辛未）　世尊入滅三百年矣（此後龍猛菩薩。造中論。等破除有見。後提婆等諸大論師。造百論等。弘闡大義了義燈明）。

(Xinwei) It has been three hundred years since the Bhagavān entered extinction. (After this, Bodhisattva Nāgārjuna composed the Mūlamadhyamakakārikā and other works to destroy views of existence; later, great masters of treatises such as Āryadeva composed the Śataśāstra and other works to broadly elucidate the great meaning, like a lamp illuminating the definitive meaning).
