Katsura points out that exegetical material on the opening verse, not originating in Dignāga’s own thought, was introduced by Yijing at the beginning of the treatise (T1629 [XXXII] 6a19-b9). This material is not paralleled in Xuanzang’s prior translation of the Nyāyamukha (T1628), completed in 649 (T2154 [LV] 556c10), which Katsura regards as scrupulously literal. However, apart from these exegetical materials appearing at the beginning of the treatise, Katsura argues that greater portion of T1629 comprises what is essentially a “word-for-word” (Jpn. chikugo teki 逐語的) translation of Dignāga’s Nyāyamukha. Katsura notes that throughout the verses and parts of the auto-commentary, Yijing’s translation is almost identical to Xuanzang’s, apart from a few characters here and there. Zhisheng 智昇 (T2154 [LV] 567c4) reports that Yijing’s translation, completed in 711, follows the “same root text” (Chi. tongben 同本) as Xuanzang.
