Hureau notes that these three lost texts were mentioned as suspect by Sengyou in CSZJJ. On the strength of their titles, she treats them as examples of texts which would have taught apocalyptic themes connected with a messianic theme. "None of these apocrypha have been found, but we may surmise they took up and developed a prediction of the Buddha reported by canonical sūtras concerning the arrival in China of the bodhisattva Yueguang [*Candraprabhā(kumāra)] at the time of the extinction of the Law (referring also to T545, T534).
