³ At my request, my friend Dr. *Takakusu* compared the text of the Gaṇḍavyūha in the India Office with the text of the "Avataṁsaka-Sūtra in 40 chapters" (in Nanjio's Catalogue), and (in a letter of 4th Sept., 1912) he communicated to me the contents of the work, which coincides in the main with the table of contents given by Rāj. *Mitra*. According to D. T. *Suzuki* (EB I, 1 note), the third Chinese translation is "practically the same as the Nepalese Gaṇḍavyūha," whilst Sikṣānanda's translation "also" contains the Gaṇḍavyūha and the Daśabhūmaka. According to S. *Lévi* in JA, t. 203, 1923, p. 6 ff., the Gaṇḍavyūha is the last section of the Avataṁsaka. Cf. also *Watanabe* in JRAS 1907, 663; *Pelliot* in JA 1914, II, p. 118 ff.; *Eliot*, Hinduism and Buddhism, II, 54 f.; III, 288.
