Radich summarises evidence given in a range of sources indicating that Paramārtha re-translated the "Scripture on the Humane Kings", even though the text is generally regarded as a Chinese apocryphon, and the ascription of the extant version to Kumārajīva is generally rejected. Sources asserting the existence of such a translation are: LDSBJ, Yancong, Jingtai, DTNDL, and Jingmai; but also Zhiyi 智顗, Liangben 良賁 (717-777) and Yuanzhao 圓照 (fl. 8c.). Zhisheng repeats the tradition but states that the supposed text was lost by his time. |
