This work is sometimes treated—for example, in Lancaster's catalogue of the Taishō—as an equivalent to the 阿毘達磨藏顯宗論 T1563 (Treatise Illuminating the Tenets of the Abhidharma Treasury), Xuanzang’s translation of a treatise by Saṃghabhadra framed as a commentary on Vasubandhu’s Abhidharmakośabhāṣya. However, Mejor has found that D 4091 appears to be ‘a simple abridgement of the Abhidharmakośa, without polemics’. Based upon correspondences with a fragmentary Tibetan manuscript from Dunhuang (Stein No. 591), he identifies D 4091 as the *Abhidharmakośavṛttisūtrānurūpā. He summarizes: ‘It seems that we have here an example of an old, anonymous translation of an Indian text of a śāstra-commentary type, very early incorporated into the Tanjur and not subject to further revision or correction’. It is therefore fallacious to treat D 4091 as an equivalent to T1563. Entry author: Billy Brewster Edit
