Bokenkamp notes that the wording of a moment of dialogue in T171 is almost verbatim identical with wording at the same moment in the parallel version of the same tale found in T152(14), indicating that "no matter what text he had in front of him, [the translator of T171, whom Bokenkamp treats as Shengjian, in line with the traditional ascription] had probably also seen Kang Senghui's translation." Bokenkamp then notes that the text goes on to relate a narrative element from a different past-life tale, which Bokenkamp traces to T337. |
