Zürcher argues that *Lokakṣema’s (Fo shuo) neizang bai bao jing 內藏百寶經 T807 [Lokānuvartanā-sūtra] is one of a group of twenty-nine texts which can be considered a “genuine” Han translation. Zürcher reaches this conclusion by a “critical selection” process which requires reliable bibliographic attribution, alongside corroborating evidence from glosses, colophons, prefaces, or commentaries; as well as internal “terminological and stylistic analysis” to identify distinctive features particular to certain translator’s teams. He adds that T807 is a “Mahāyānistic interpretation of the Buddha’s life as a series of ‘magic performances’ intended to lead all beings to salvation.”
