The *Vinayamātṛkā 毘尼母經 T1463 was first recorded in Fajing 法經錄, and classified as an anonymous scripture of the Qin 秦 by KYL. Sakaino supports KYL’s view that T1463 is a scripture of the Qin period, quoting the phrase 舍摩陀者(秦言名滅) (T1463 [XXIV] 808c15). Sakaino tries to determine if the period was the Fu Qin 符秦 or Yao Qin 姚秦, by comparing the phraseology and terminology of T1463 and that of the Binaya lü 鼻那耶(律) T1464 and some other texts [p. 789], but he admits that the exercise is inconclusive, as terminology varies without indicating a particular period or authorship. Sakaino states that, still, the smooth flow of prose suggests that T1463 is more likely to be a translation of the Yao Qin 姚秦 period. Sakaino adds that there is a possibility that the oral translator 傳語 was Kumārajīva, but this is nothing more than speculation.
