80 The golden color or suvarnavar_n_atâ is one of the thirty-two marks
of a Buddha, recognized both in the Southern and Northern schools
(Burnouf, _Lotus_, 579).
81 This name is written in various ways, Ka-shio-ma-tô-giya,
Ka-shio-ma-tô, Shio-ma-tô, Ka-tô, Ma-tô. In the Fan-i-ming-i-tsi
(vol. iii. fol. 4 a), it is said “that K. was a native of Central
India, and a Brâhman by caste. Having been invited by the Chinese
envoy, Tsâi-yin, he came to China, saw the Emperor, and died in
Lo-yang, the capital.” Of _K_û-fa-lan it is said (_l. c._ vol. iii.
fol. 4) that he was a native of Central India, well versed in
Vinaya. When invited to go to China, the King would not let him
depart. He left secretly, and arrived in China after Kâsyapa. They
translated the Sûtra in forty-two sections together. After Kâsyapa
died, _K_û-fa-lan translated five Sûtras.
