The MS of the *Jīvakapustaka* cannot be dated precisely. No detailed palaeographical study of the cursive Brāhmī script as used in Central Asia has yet been made. The language of the Khotanese version is ‘late Khotanese’. All that can be said from the point of view of the language is that the text must have been written before the year A.D. 1000, after which no Khotanese was written.²³⁴
