As Strickmann notes, T1268 is supposed to have been translated by Bodhiruci 菩提流支 (of the Tang/Zhou). However, he also notes that the text contains "a puzzling addition, relating how the text was originally translated by a brahman from Central India at the end of the sixth century, and informing us that a variant form of the image comprises one elephant's head and one pig's head". 陳隋之間。中天竺婆羅門為譯此本。是依朝人從西國將來。各行用多不同驅自。又一本是陀羅尼集經諸天部卷出。若作佛部及菩薩部。一為猪頭象頭二身各自胡跪。形本各別同此行用, T1268 (XXII) 302a12-16.
