¹ It is well known that we still have no Indian Buddhist version of this form of the legend. Except for the Brahmanic epopee, it is known to us only from the allusions of the Chinese pilgrims Fa-hien (trans. LEGGE, p. 30), Sung Yun (trans. CHAVANNES, B. É. F. E.-O., III, p. 427), Hiuan-tsang (trans. STAN. JULIEN, I, p. 137), and from Chinese versions, such as that which was retranslated from Chinese by M. Ed. HUBER, Sûtrâlaṅkâra, Paris, 1908, p. 330, and from Tibetan by SCHMIDT, Der Weise und der Thor, p. 120.
