⁴ It is often quoted by Candrakīrti, under the title Śataka or Śataka-Śāstra, in the Madhyamaka-Vṛtti. *Cf.* La Vallée Poussin in Le Muséon, N.S.I., 1900, 236 ff. The Catuḥśataka has come down in its entirety in the Tibetan version. Fragments of the Sanskrit original of the text and commentary have been discovered and edited by Haraprasada Sāstrī in Memoirs of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, Vol. III, No. 8, pp. 449-514, Calcutta 1914. Chapter VII with Extracts from the Commentary of Candrakīrti, reconstructed from the Tibetan Version, with an English Translation, by Vidhusekhara Bhattacharya, in Proc. IV OC, Vol. II, pp. 831-871. P. L. Vaidya, Études sur Āryadeva et son Catuḥśataka, Paris 1923, p. 69 ff., has reconstructed the Sanskrit text of the last 9 chapters (VIII-XVI), on the basis of the Tibetan version, in as far as the Sanskrit text was not extant, and has added a French translation (p. 129 ff.). Hsüan-Tsang translated the work into Chinese. A complete Italian translation of the text and commentary, from the Chinese, has been published by G. *Tucci* in Studi e materiali di storia delle religioni, 1925. For a comparison of the Chinese text with the Sanskrit original and the Tibetan version, s. *Tucci* in RSO X, 1923, 521 ff. [^1): Verses 192-194 in P. L. *Vaidya's* Text. [^2): Cf. *Nanjio*, Twelve Japanese Buddhist Sects, p. 44 ff.; W. M. *McGovern*, Introduction to Mahāyāna Buddhism, p. 205 ff. [^3): *Haraprasāda Śāstrī* has also discovered these fragments, s. JASB 67, 1898, 175 ff. [^4): Cf. *La Vallée Poussin*, Bouddhisme, p. 383, note 1 and *Haraprasāda Śāstrī* in in Ind. Hist. Qu. I, 1925, p. 464: "The book has been revised by another Āryadeva in later times, for at the end are mentioned images not known in the great Āryadeva's time, and there was one Āryadeva in Bengal who wrote also in Bengali." For this reason it is impossible to deduce from this work the chronological data, which were deduced by H. Jacobi, JAOS 31, 1910, p. 2.
