¹ By apocryphal traditions we mean those relative to the statue of sandal wood, carved even during the life-time of Buddha and attributed by Fa-hian (trans. LEGGE, p. 56) to Prasenajit of Çrâvastî, and by Hiuan-tsang (trans. Stan. JULIEN, I, pp. 283 and 296) to Udayana of Kauçâmbî, whose example had only been imitated by Prasenajit (cf. BEAL, Records, I, p. XLIV and 235; II, p. 4). As regards the miracles, see those which are related to us concerning the image of the temple of Mahâbodhi by Hiuan-tsang (trans. Stan. JULIEN, I, p. 465; BEAL, II, p. 120) and Târanâtha (trans. SCHIEFNER, p. 20).
