² It has been definitely ascertained now that there were two Sthiramatis, the one of whom Watters speaks and the other ours, the disciple of Vasubandhu. *See* Kimura, o.c., p. 183. Watters, however, says that Sthiramati was the author of an "*Introduction to Mahāyānism*," which was translated into Chinese about A.D. 400. That means Sthiramati flourished much earlier, in about 300 A.D. But this seems impossible because Nālandā was not so famous then. While Sthiramati is known to succeed Vasubandhu who definitely lived in 480 A.D. Watters, *Yuan Chwang*, II, p. 169.
