The work is only available in a translation made by Hsüan-tsang in 649, according to tradition. Hsüan-tsang says that it was composed in Visoka near Śrāvastī. It is only partly translated. The first and second of its six chapters are available in French translation by Louis de la Vallée Poussin as "La Controverse du Temps et du Pudgala dans le Vijñānakāya", from *Études asiatiques oubliées a l'occasion du 25e anniversaire de l'École-francaise de l'Estreme Orient*, Volume One (Paris 1925), pp. 343-76. This translation is referred to below as "TP". Fumimaro Watanabe provides as English rendering of a portion of the second chapter in *Philosophy and Its Development in the Nikāyas and Abhidhamma* (Delhi 1983), signified here by "TW" page references. In some cases Watanabe is quoted verbatim with technical terms made consistent with the present volume's translations, in other cases translations provided by him are summarized by the editor (Potter).
