² This is the Fo-sho-hing-tsan-king, translated from Sanskrit into Chinese between 414 and 421 A.D. by Dharmarakṣa, and translated into English by Samuel Beal in SBE, Vol. 19. T. W. *Rhys Davids* (JRAS 1901, p. 405 f.) has asserted that this Chinese work is not a translation of Aśvaghoṣa's Buddha-Carita at all. Else *Wohlgemuth*, however (Über die chinesische Version von Aśvaghoṣas Buddhacarita, Diss. Leipzig 1916), has shown that the Chinese version is undoubtedly based on Aśvaghoṣa's poem, though some things have been added and others omitted, and that the recension on which it is based differed from the one which we know.
