Watanabe Baiyū 渡辺楳雄 describes the background of the *Saṃyuktābhidharmahṛdaya 雜阿毘曇心論 T1552, written by *Dharmatrāta 法救 and with the translation ascribed to *Saṅghavarman 僧伽跋摩 and others, as follows:

The original text of the Saṃyuktābhidharmahṛdaya in 600 stanzas was produced by *Dharmatrāta 法救/達磨多羅, by adding 350 stanzas to the *Abhidharmahṛdaya 阿毘曇心論 (cf. T1550) by *Dharmaśri(?) 法勝. Dharmaśri wrote the *Abhidharmahṛdaya in 250 stanzas in the fourth century to summarize the *Mahāvibhāṣā 大毘婆沙, since the latter was excessively long (200 fascicles in Xuanzang's 玄奘 translation). Dharmatrāta added 350 stanzas, thinking that *Dharmaśri’s summary was too terse. The *Saṃyuktābhidharmahṛdaya T1552 is thought to have been the most important Abhidharma source for Vasbandhu when he wrote the Abhidharmakośa 倶舎論.
