[^1): *F. Weller*, Zum Lalita Vistara, I, Über die Prosa des Lalita Vistara, Leipzig Diss. 1915, has made it seem probable that even the prose in the Lalita-Vistara was not originally written in Sanskrit, but in a dialect akin to the prose of the Mahāvastu, and that it was not sanskritized until later. [^2): Thus the Vasantatilakā and the Śārdūlavikrīḍita are fairly frequent. See the list of metres in *Lefmann's* edition, Vol. II, p. 227 ff., and Introduction, p. xix ff. [^3): By *B. Nanjio*, who regarded the Fo-pen-hing-king (68 A.D.) which has been lost long ago, as a translation of the Lalita-Vistara: but there is no proof whatsoever for such an assumption. *Cf. Bagchi*, l.c., I, p. 6.
