247 D.Ch. Bhattacharyya (1947b): 125. N.N. Das Gupta (1936/37: 160), considering that the term ārogyaśālīya might point to Vijayarakṣita's being a Buddhist, because ārogyaśālīn is an epithet of the Buddha and of Avalokiteśvara, observed that the term is not easy to explain; he expressed his doubts about Vijayarakṣita openly professing Buddhism in the age in which he lived (N.N. Das Gupta adhered to Hoernle's date of Vijayarakṣita, i.e., about 1240).
