Asaṅga’s Verses on the Vajracchedikā (Yìjìng’s Translation) by 無著菩薩 (Asaṅga, 造); translated by 義淨 (Yìjìng, 譯)
About the work
A single-fascicle Tang-period Chinese translation of Asaṅga’s kārikā-verses on the Vajracchedikā — the verse-text only, separate from Vasubandhu’s prose-commentary on the same verses (= T1513). Translated by Yìjìng 義淨. Signature: 「無著菩薩造／唐三藏法師義淨奉制譯」.

Abstract
T1514 is the verse-only Asaṅga Vajracchedikā kārikā; T1513 is the same verses with Vasubandhu’s prose-commentary. The two Yìjìng translations were issued together as a coordinated pair: T1514 gives the verses, T1513 the integrated verse-and-commentary work. The work is dateable to Yìjìng’s documented Tang activity (700–713).
