Assertion Argument Place in source Search

The Dun zhentuoluo suowen bao rulai sanmei jing 伅眞陀羅所問寶如來三昧經 T624 is ascribed to Lokakṣema in the Taishō canon, but this ascription has long been scrutinized by modern scholars. Shi Guanghui argues that from a linguistic perspective, T624 shows significant differences to texts such as the Daoxing banre jing 道行般若經 T224 and other translations that are reliably attributed to Lokakṣema. Therefore, he contends, T624 was not translated by Lokakṣema. Shi conducts a comparative analysis of certain phrases and grammatical elements in T624 against those found in scriptures that taken as Lokakṣema’s translations, esp. T224 and the Banzhou sanmei jing 般舟三昧經 T418. Shi’s analysis encompasses two types of phraseology, which include:

a) From Sanskrit (sic):
怛薩/怛薩阿竭, 優鉢華/優曇鉢華, 羅漢/阿羅漢, 分衛/分越

b) Synonyms:
曹/等, 求/索, 至到/往到/往至/行至

Shi also treats grammatical elements: 何/何等, 云何/何以故.
