The Busiyi gongde zhu Fo suo hunian jing 不思議功德諸佛所護念經 T445 features two instances of the transcription-translation suopo shijie 娑婆世界 for *sabhāloka (= *sahāloka); T445 (XIV) 357a27, 361c9. Given the history of this particular rendering in Chinese, this almost certainly yields a terminus post quem for T445 of 406 CE. For that history, see Pan (forthcoming).
