Stanford: Stanford University Press, 2002. — 157-158	T1227; 大威力烏樞瑟摩明王經	Strickmann writes of T1227 as one of “three important texts of the Uccuṣma cult [that] were produced by a certain Ajitasena, who worked in the Turfan region of Chinese Central Asia in the first half of the eighth century”. He notes that "in the middle of this typically Indian collection...we discover instructions for manufacturing a therapeutic seal", implying that the text may not be entirely direct translation of Indic source material.

Like so many works even of the most extreme Tantric kind, it has signs of Chinese adaptation, if not of wholesale compilation in China".
