2. Re-translation: as when sūtras spread to Loulan and Yanqi north of the mountains, where they did not understand the Indian language and first translated them into Hu languages; for instance, Sanskrit upādhyāya is husha in Kashgar and heshang in Khotan. Also, for 'Heavenly King', the Sanskrit is Kuvera, and the Hu is Pishamen (Vaiśravaṇa); such are cases of this.
