A History of Indian Literature v2.c27.107

v2.c27.107

Mr. *Demiéville* sees no reason to deny the Indian origin of the work which (he thinks) must be later than the Laṅkāvatāra, but earlier than Asaṅga and Vasubandhu. Else it would be difficult to explain why they are never quoted in the work. On the other hand it is strange that the work, so famous in China and Japan, is never alluded to in any Sanskrit text, nor in any Chinese or Tibetan translations of Buddhist Sanskrit works.
