⁴ The Central Asiatic fragments have been published by *Hoernle* and *Lüders* in *Hoernle*, Manuscript Remains, pp. 132 ff., 138 ff., 162 ff. See also *La Vallée Poussin* in JRAS 1911, 1067 ff.; *Kern* in Preface to edition (Bibl. Buddh. X), p. v ff.; *Hoernle* in JRAS, 1916, p. 269 ff. According to N. D. *Mironov* (JRAS 1927, 252 ff.) there are two groups of fragments, one of which should, on palæographic grounds, be ascribed to the 5th and 6th centuries, and the other to the 7th century. Moreover, fragments of an Uiguric translation of the Saddharma-Puṇḍarīka have been found in Central Asia, s. *F. W. K. Müller*, Uigurica II, in ABA 1911, p. 14 ff.; *Lüders* in SBA 1914, p. 99. *Bendall* ascribes a Nepalese MS. of the Saddh., which he discovered, to the 4th or 5th century (JRAS 1901, p. 124 note).
