Fóshuō Shǎnzǐ jīng 佛說睒子經 (T175c)
Sūtra of Śyāmaka, spoken by the Buddha (third recension) by 聖堅 (Shèngjiān / *Āryasthira, 譯)
About the work
The third Taishō recension of 聖堅 Shèngjiān’s Śyāmaka-jātaka translation; signature 「姚秦三藏法師釋聖堅譯」. The dynastic header — 姚秦 (“YáoQín”, i.e., the Latter Qín) — represents a catalog mis-attribution of Shèngjiān’s translation to the Latter Qín rather than the Western Qín; modern scholarship treats Shèngjiān as a Western-Qín translator, and the 姚秦 attribution as a canonical-tradition variant introduced in later catalogs.
