c30.8

As to Vasubandhu's connexion with the Guptas, we have the testimony of Vāmana (*c.* A. D. 800), Pramārtha, who wrote between A. D. 546 and 569, and of Hiuen Tsang (Yuan Chwang) who took his notes at Peshāwar, the birthplace of Vasubandhu, probably in A. D. 631, and certainly finished his book in 648 (Watters, i, 12). I discussed their testimony fully in the third edition of this work.
