[Zhiru 2007]  Ng, Zhiru. The Making of a Savior Bodhisattva: Dizang in Medieval China. Kuroda Institute Studies in East Asian Buddhism 21. Honolulu: University of Hawai’i Press, 2007. — 81-82, 101-107, esp. 101-102

Zhiru states that this is an "indigenous Chinese composition", recovered at Dunhuang and incorporated into the canon with the publication of the Taishō. 22 copies exist worldwide in collections of Dunhuang texts. Broadly speaking, there exist shorter and longer versions of the text. Zhiru reports work by Wang-Toutain that identifies and corrects an error in the note at T2909 (LXXXV) 1145 n. 1, which states that the text used as a base was S. 197; it was in fact S. 6257. Zhiru cites Wang-Toutain, Le bodhisattva Ksitigarbha en Chine du VIe siècle au XIIIe siècle, Paris, EFEO (PEFEO, 185): 146 n. 581.
