Harrison records three texts listed in the catalogues “which may or may not be related to the [Pratyutpannabuddhasammukhāvasthitasamādhi-sūtra],” none of which have survived. Among these is the Fatuo pusa bai’ershi nan jing 颰陀菩薩百二十難經 (in one juan) [sic for Fatuo---dictionaries give bá or fú for 颰, 颰陀 Skt *Bhadra---MR]. The text first appears in CSZJJ, listed as a lost, anonymous text. Harrison suggests that this could be an “alternative title” of one of the earliest translations of the Pratyutpannabuddhasammukhāvasthitasamādhi-sūtra. Harrison adds that any three of these texts may be the source for the passages in T417 which are not based on the BZSMJ in three juan.
