According to Ōno, the Pusa jie ben 菩薩戒本 (Yuqie jie ben 瑜伽戒本) T1501, ascribed to Xuanzang (as editor 編), consists almost entirely of verbatim excerpts from the Yogācārabhūmi 瑜伽論 T1579, except for the first one or two characters of each section各節初頭の一二字を除けば、全篇悉く瑜伽論の文である. In comparison with the “Bodhisatvabhūmi prātimokṣa” 地持戒本 T1500, the precepts 戒條 are largely the same, but T1501 is much simpler in structure.

Ōno states that it is an open question whether T1501 (as well as the Pusa jie jiemo wen 菩薩戒羯磨文 T1499, also ascribed to Xuanzang) is a proper translation or not, and maintains that probably T1501 was excerpted from Yogācārabhūmi and edited by Xuanzang. According to the preface to T1499 by Jingmai 静邁, Xuanzang carefully checked 吟味 his text before completion. KYL records that Xuanzang“translated” T1499 and T1501 in the seventh month of Zhenguan 貞觀 23 (649), while he completed the translation of the Yogācārabhūmi in the fifth month of the previous year. Ōno points out that, as the two scriptures use parts of YBh verbatim, Xuanzang would not have needed to check the texts very carefully, even if there did exist independent source texts for both. This being so, Ōno argues, the careful check Xuanzang made should have been of the structure of the two excerpt texts, not the new translation work. Hence, the T1499 and T1501 are not new translations, but newly-edited excerpts from YBh).
