In the course of discussing T1634, Sakamoto Yukio 坂本幸男 notes that there were two conflicting traditions about the date of T1546 (which was translated by the same group). According to the preface by Daoting 道挺, translation of the Vibhāṣā commenced in 425 CE and was completed in 427 CE. On the other hand, the GSZ 高僧傳 biography of *Buddhavarman 浮陀跋摩, who co-translated 毘婆沙論 with Daotai, shows the as 437 CE (completed in 439 CE), as do KYL, DTNDL 内典錄, and LDSBJ 三寶記.

The Apitan piposha lun 阿毘曇毘婆沙論 in sixty juan (T1546 by Kātyāyanīputra 迦旃延子, with the translation ascribed to *Buddhavarman 浮陀跋摩 and Daotai 道泰) is an alternate translation of the *(Mahā-)Vibhāṣā 毘婆沙論. The original text should have been roughly identical with the version translated by Xuanzang 玄奘, T1545. T1546 originally comprised one hundred juan, and was a complete translation of the original, but the text went missing in the chaos of wartime, and only sixty juan were later recovered. According to a preface to the text attributed to Daoting 道梃, the original text for the translation was brought to China by Daotai. Sakaino states that there is no objective basis for the view that Daotai participated in the translation of the text alongside *Buddhavarman.
