95 The Yâos subdued the Fûs, and ruled as the dynasty of the After
_Kh_in.
96 See p. 208. He is sometimes called Balasan, or, according to Edkins,
Palat’sanga, Baddala, or Dabadara. In the Fan-i-ming-i-tsi (vol.
iii. fol. 6) the following account of Buddhabhadra is given:
“Buddhabhadra met Kumâra_g_iva in China, and whenever the latter
found any doubts, the former was always asked for an explanation. In
the fourteenth year of Î-hsi (418 A. D.) Buddhabhadra translated the
Fa-yan-king in sixty volumes.” This Sûtra is the
Ta-fang-kwang-fo-fa-yan-king, Buddhâvata_m_saka-vai-pulya-sûtra
(Beal’s _Catalogue_, p. 9). This translation was brought to Japan in
736.
97 The Sang-_k_i-liu, rules of priesthood; _i. e._ the Vinaya of the
Mahâsaṅghika school.
98 I call him Dharmaraksha II., in order to prevent a confusion which
has been produced by identifying two Shâmans who lived at a distance
of nearly 200 years—the one 250 A. D., the other 420 A. D. The first
is called _K_û-fâ-hu, which can be rendered Dharmaraksha; the second
is called Fâ-făng (law-prosperity), but, if transliterated, he is
best known by the names T‘on-mo-la-tsin, T‘an-mo-tsin, or
Dharmalatsin. He was a native of Central India, and arrived in China
in the first year of the period Hiouen-shi of the Tsü-_kh_u family
of the Northern Liang, 414 A. D. He was the contemporary of
_K_i-mang, whom Mr. Beal places about 250 A. D., in order to make
him a contemporary of Dharmaraksha I.
99 Mung-sun died 432, and was succeeded by his heir, who lost his
kingdom in 439. Yâo-_kh_ang’s kingdom, however, was destroyed by the
Eastern Tsin, at the time of his second successor, 417, not by
Mung-sun.
100 It is said in the tenth year of the period Hung-shi of Yâo-_kh_ang
(better hsing), the copy arrived at _Kh_ang-an. But this cannot be,
if _K_i-mang went to India in 419. There must be something wrong in
these dates.
