On Yuan Chwang's Travels in India, 629–645 A.D. v2.c23.s17.15

v2.c23.s17.15

The T'ung-shou or Kumāralabdha of this passage is the Śāstra-master with whom we have met already in the account of Takshaśilā. Here as before the Life has the faulty reading "Youth-long-life" or Kumārajīva. The transcription shews that Kumāralabdha is the name, and this agrees with Tāranātha.² He mentions a Sautrāntika āchārya of the west whose name was Gzom-nu-lena, that is Youth-received, or Kumāralabdha. None of the treatises written by this great Buddhist have come down to us in the Chinese collections, but his name is occasionally mentioned in the Śāstras.
