Buswell reports that Sugi was confronted by two versions of this text [the *Agrapradīpadhāraṇīvidyārāja], both alike ascribed to *Jinagupta/*Jñānagupta 闍那崛多 (as in the present Taishō); the present text T1353 (from the Kaibao), and the 東方最勝燈王如來經 T1354 (from the Khitan). Sugi thought that the "invocation" to the Khitan indicated that it was the real *Jinagupta/*Jñānagupta version. The "archaic language and structure" of T1353 made Sugi think that it could not be by *Jinagupta/*Jñānagupta, but he deferred to "later sages" for final judgement.
