Nattier characterises the text as it has come down to us as “garbled”, and notes a number of features that may point to a “possibility of a Chinese locus for the final recension of this version of the story”: the use of the placename Jin 晉 (also referring to a language, 晉言), though she also considers the possibility that 晉土 could be for Skt. Sindhu; the use of Chinese terminology, such as tianzi 天子; and reference to “250 precepts”, a number which is unique to the Chinese Dharmaguptaka version of the Vinaya.
