Ono expresses doubts about the ascription of the *Lokasthāna T23 to Faju. He points out that the ascription was added by Sengyou, who explicitly states that it was missing in Dao'an's catalogue; and that elsewhere, Sengyou also ascribes a very similar title to Dharmarakṣa. Ono feels it is unlikely that two versions of the text existed from these close collaborators, and that it is best to trust Dao'an, as the earlier witness, and infer that Faju acted as bishou (and perhaps effected more thorough revisions). |
