In Sengyou's Chu sanzang ji ji, T197 is regarded as an anonymous translation, that is to say, it is listed in the "Newly Compiled Continuation of the Assorted List of Anonymous Translations" 新集續撰失譯雜經錄 (juan 4): 興起行經二卷. Entry author: Michael Radich |

The ascription of T197 to Kang Mengxiang probably dates to LDSBJ, which cites the Wu lu 吳錄. The same title is incongruously treated as anonymous in Fascicle 14. Entry author: Michael Radich |

According to the abstract, Radich argues: "Fei Changfang/Zhangfang’s 費長房 Lidai sanbao ji 歷代三寶紀 T2034 (completed in 598) is a source of numerous problematic ascriptions and dates for texts in the received Chinese Buddhist canon. This paper presents new evidence of troubling patterns in the assignment of new ascriptions in Lidai sanbao ji, and aims thereby to shed new light on Fei’s working method. I show that Lidai sanbao ji consistently gives new attributions to the same translators for whole groups of texts clustering closely together in a long list of texts treated as anonymous in the earlier Chu sanzang ji ji 出三藏記集 T2145 of Sengyou 僧祐 (completed ca. 515). It is impossible that Sengyou grouped these texts together on the basis of attribution, since he did not know them. The most economical explanation for the assignment of each individual group to the same translator in Lidai sanbao ji, therefore, is that someone added the same attributions in batches to restricted chunks of Sengyou’s list. This and other evidence shows that Lidai sanbao ji is even more unreliable than previously thought, and urges even greater critical awareness in the use of received ascriptions for many of our texts." Radich argues that the patterns of unreliable information he has here uncovered cast doubt upon the ascriptions of all the texts affected. Extant texts affected are the following (from Radich's Appendix 1; listed in order of Taishō numbering; listing gives title, Taishō number, Taishō ascription, and locus in LDSBJ): 七佛父母姓字經 T4, Anon., former Wei 前魏, 60b19. This CBC@ entry is associated with all of affected extant texts. Entry author: Michael Radich |

Palumbo observes that the terminology of T197 evinces a style that is otherwise associated with Zhu Fonian, such as 真淨 for Śuddhodana and 偷婆 for *stūpa*. Since T197 is either listed as anonymous by reliable sources like CSZJJ or suspiciously ascribed to Kang Mengxiang by Fei in LDSBJ, Palumbo proposes possible connection of this text with Zhu Fonian.

Based on a few selected grammatical features, translated names, and words that otherwise rarely appear in texts (both Buddhist and non-Buddhist) prior to the Three Kingdoms, Fang refutes the ascription of the Xingqi xing jing 興起行經 T197 to Kang Mengxiang, who was reported to be active in the Eastern Han. Instead, he estimates the text to date to sometime between the Three Kingdoms and the Eastern Jin. Entry author: Sharon Chi |

In a survey article of scholarship on questions of attribution in the Chinese canon published in the last decade, Fang and Lu state that studies by Fang and by Fang and Gao argue that the Xingqi xing jing 興起行經 T197 was possibly produced as late as the Eastern Jin Dynasty. They refer to Fang Yixin 方一新. “Cong yiming yanbian kan yi yi Fojing de fanyi niandai” 從譯名演變看疑、佚佛經的翻譯年代.
